PDF Redact uses on-device AI and pattern matching to automatically detect sensitive information like names, addresses, SSNs, account numbers, and transaction details. All processing happens locally on your device — your documents are never uploaded to any server.
Presets are quick configurations that enable the right detection categories for common use cases: Standard PII, Bank Statement, Tax Documents, Medical/HIPAA, and Legal/Court. You can also manually toggle individual categories.
No. All document processing, AI detection, and redaction happens entirely on your device. Your PDFs never leave your phone or tablet.
Open the app, go to the paywall screen, and tap "Restore Purchases." Your premium access will be restored if you've previously purchased it on the same Apple ID.
Email us at with a description of the issue and your device model. Screenshots of the issue are very helpful.

PDF Redact ("we", "our", or "the app") is a document redaction app that helps you remove sensitive information from PDFs before sharing them. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data the app collects, how it is used, and your rights.
PDF Redact is designed to process your documents entirely on your device. We collect minimal data:
All document processing happens locally on your device:
If you delete the app, all locally stored data (export count, preferences) is permanently removed.
The app requests photo library access to let you import images (photos of documents) for redaction. Images you select are processed locally on your device only. They are not uploaded to any server or shared with third parties.
The app uses one third-party service:
The app integrates no advertising, analytics, or attribution SDKs.
PDF Redact does not track you. The app contains no analytics, advertising, or attribution software, does not collect your device's advertising identifier (IDFA), and does not link any data to you or share data with third parties for tracking. Because there is nothing to track, the app does not present an App Tracking Transparency prompt.
We do not sell your personal data. We do not have access to your documents. The only data that ever leaves your device is the purchase transaction you initiate, which is processed by Apple. No document content, detected text, redaction data, analytics, or identifiers are transmitted anywhere.
All document analysis and redaction processing happens entirely on your device using Apple's built-in frameworks. No document content is ever sent to any server. Your documents remain completely private.
PDF Redact is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Since all document data is processed and stored locally on your device, you have full control:
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
