Description: Redaction is the process of editing or censoring information in a document to protect sensitive data. This process involves identifying and removing information that could compromise the privacy of individuals or entities, ensuring that data is presented in a way that minimizes the risk of exposure. Redaction may include hiding names, addresses, identification numbers, and other personal data that, if disclosed, could be misused. Redaction is essential in legal documents, research reports, and any type of communication containing confidential information. Additionally, it is used in the digital realm to protect data in databases and during the transmission of information over networks. Proper implementation of redaction not only protects privacy but also helps comply with data protection regulations, such as GDPR in Europe, which requires organizations to handle personal information responsibly and ethically.
