Redact Employee Data from PDFs — AI-Powered Detection
Employee PDFs are among the most regulated documents you handle. Every new processor extends your GDPR footprint. On Pro and Team, AI-powered detection surfaces HR identifiers automatically. The free tier is a capable manual redaction path for tight information governance. See our security page for how document processing works.
Built for HR and ER workflows
Subject access requests dominate the use case: you must disclose the requester's data while stripping colleagues, managers, and customers. The same patterns appear in tribunal disclosure, insurer requests, and cross-border transfers documentation. Ghost accelerates the mechanical part — finding strings and regions — so your ER and legal partners spend time on substance, not Ctrl+F.
- Names, addresses, and contact details
- National insurance and government ID numbers
- Custom terms (e.g. case references)
Step-by-step in the app
- Open Ghost and load your PDF
- On Pro and Team, review AI-suggested regions page by page. On the free tier, mark redactions manually
- Add or adjust redactions where context demands it
- Download a clean PDF for your disclosure pack or counsel review
Pair with policy, not instead of it
Decide internally who may run redaction, where exports may be stored, and how you log exemptions. Your retention and classification rules still apply to the PDFs you download and archive.
