Why local-first redaction is essential
Sending unredacted customer logs, PDFs, or support tickets to cloud APIs creates massive compliance risks and potential data leaks. PII Finder operates 100% on your Mac.
Sends unredacted raw data across the web
- ✕Uploads raw customer documents, emails, and credentials to third-party servers.
- ✕Vulnerable to server breach, employee access, or cloud logging retainment.
- ✕Requires active internet connection and suffers from network latency.
- ✕Monthly API pricing per token or document scanned.
