Paste Redactor is a privacy-focused tool designed to automatically detect and redact personally identifiable information (PII) from text copied to the clipboard. It addresses the challenge of protecting sensitive data during copy-paste operations in browsers and on Windows desktops by ensuring that confidential information does not get inadvertently shared or exposed.
The platform uses locally running AI models, specifically a finetuned open-source Natural Language Processing model based on MiniLM-L6, to identify and redact over 50 types of PII. This local processing ensures that user data never leaves the device, reinforcing a privacy-first approach. Users can customize which types of PII are redacted, and the detection occurs in real time for immediate results. The core PII detection model is open source and available under the MIT license, allowing users to experiment with, modify, or integrate the model into their own solutions.
Paste Redactor is available as a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and other Chromium-based browsers such as Brave and Vivaldi. Additionally, a Windows desktop application is offered, broadening its accessibility beyond browser environments. The tool is positioned to serve both individual users seeking to safeguard their personal data and enterprises requiring scalable, workflow-integrated solutions for stringent data privacy, auditing, and mass deployments.
The service offers a free tier, which includes advanced detection of over 50 PII types, up to 100 redactions per month, and access to both browser extensions and the Windows app with standard support. Paid plans include a monthly subscription at $1 per month and a yearly option at $9 per year, both providing unlimited redactions and priority support. Enterprise solutions are also available for organizations with specialized privacy and integration needs. Paste Redactor is developed and maintained by Negative Star Innovators.
