⚙️ How This Tool Works Locally
When you use this tool on PrivacyKit, every byte is processed directly in your device RAM.
- 1. No Network Traffic: No HTTP POST or PUT requests are made to any server. Your internet can even be disconnected.
- 2. Modern Native APIs: Computation uses native HTML5 Canvas, Web Cryptography (SubtleCrypto), and client-side binary parsers.
- 3. Zero Footprint: Closing this browser tab immediately frees the memory buffer. No persistent cookies or caches remain.
💡 Frequently Asked Questions
What types of sensitive data can the Text Redactor detect?
It automatically detects email addresses, North American and international phone numbers, credit card numbers, US Social Security Numbers (SSNs), IPv4/IPv6 addresses, and common API key patterns (OpenAI, AWS, GitHub, Stripe).
Can I add my own custom keywords to redact?
Yes. You can enter any custom list of confidential names, project codenames, or proprietary terms, and the tool will redact all occurrences instantly.
Is my text processed locally or on a remote server?
100% locally. The regular expression matching engine runs directly in your web browser JavaScript engine with zero network calls.
What redaction styles are available?
You can choose between bracketed tokens like [EMAIL_REDACTED], generic [REDACTED], or black redaction blocks (████████).
Is there a character limit on the text I can paste?
Because processing happens directly in your browser memory, you can paste tens of thousands of lines of logs without throttling or timeouts.
