Common questions
Can detection miss sensitive information?
Yes. Patterns, OCR and signature-area detection can miss content or flag something incorrectly. Human review is required before sharing.
How are names and signatures detected?
Names are matched against phrases you provide. Signature and handwriting areas are candidates for your review, not verified identities.
Can I find Aadhaar, SSN and credit-card numbers before sharing a PDF?
The scan flags candidates for these patterns and supports names you provide, with OCR for scanned pages. Review every candidate and page, correct regions where needed, then apply redaction. Detection is not a guarantee that all sensitive data was found.
