What we mean by "address"

A postal address is a multi-component identifier: street number, street name, locality, postcode, region, and country. In legal and real-estate documents, addresses identify properties as well as individuals — sometimes both at once.

When address redaction is legally required

Addresses are personal data under GDPR and the Swiss FADP whenever they identify a private individual. They are also frequently confidential in commercial transactions.

  • Property deeds shared with third parties
  • Court filings (witness addresses, victim privacy)
  • Tenant background-check disclosures
  • Medical records shared with external providers

Multi-line address recognition

Our analyzer recognizes address blocks spanning multiple lines, even when split across columns. It understands Swiss, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and US/UK formats. You can also add specific addresses to "Always Redact" terms for guaranteed removal.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload the PDF

    Single file or batch. Scanned documents work via OCR.

  2. 2

    Select "Address" detection

    Combine with names and phone numbers in one pass.

  3. 3

    Validate in Studio

    Review every detection. The Highlight mode lets you audit without masking.

  4. 4

    Export the rasterized PDF

    Addresses are permanently removed from the document.

For real-estate professionals

Sales mandates and tenant files contain dozens of address references per document. Redact privately-held addresses before sharing comparable-property analyses.

Frequently asked questions

Does it differentiate property addresses from personal home addresses?

Not automatically — both are detected. Use Studio review to decide which masks to keep.

What about partial addresses like just a city?

A standalone city name is often left in (it is not a unique identifier). If you need it masked, add it to "Always Redact" terms.

Does it support Swiss postal codes?

Yes. Swiss CH-XXXX format is recognized alongside European 4-5 digit and US 5+4 digit ZIP codes.
