Redaction

"Redact - to obscure or remove from a document prior to publication or release"
Source: Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary

Redaction is a daily process for any organization which possesses, distributes or selectively releases classified, sensitive or private information.

For example, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) mandates public access to many documents once sensitive content is redacted.

Failures to redact can be costly, as many government agencies, major corporations, law-firms and others have learned to their chagrin.

Appligent's redaction products completely remove text and graphics from the page. Snooping or hacking into the file cannot reveal properly redacted information.
