How to Safely Redact Sensitive Information Before Using ChatGPT: A Complete Guide

Are you wondering how to safely remove sensitive information from your documents before using ChatGPT? You're not alone. With the growing concerns about privacy and data security, knowing how to properly redact information has become essential for ChatGPT users.

Why Redacting Information Matters

Before sharing any text with ChatGPT or other AI models, it's crucial to remove:

  • Personal identifying information (PII)
  • Confidential business data
  • Financial information
  • Proprietary details
  • Client information

The Challenge with Traditional Redaction

Most redaction tools follow a one-size-fits-all approach, which can be problematic when you need more nuanced control. For example, what if you want to:

  • Keep certain names while removing others
  • Preserve specific financial figures while hiding sensitive ones
  • Maintain context while ensuring privacy

Introducing Smart Redaction with Custom Prompts

Imagine being able to tell your redaction tool exactly what you want:

"Please remove all names except for Peter Jones" "Redact financial information but keep project budgets visible" "Remove all email addresses except those from @company.com"

This level of precise control is now possible with Redacto's custom prompt technology.
