## What's in a lease agreement (privacy-wise)

A typical residential or commercial lease includes tenant full name(s), home and contact addresses, phone numbers, email, employer details, prior addresses, references, bank/IBAN for direct debit, sometimes salary slips. Every one of these is personal data under GDPR and the Swiss FADP.

## When you need to redact a lease

- Archiving in a shared property-management system
- Sharing comparable-rental documentation with brokers
- Responding to a court order for evidence
- Transferring management of a property portfolio

## A single batch, multiple PII types

Upload an entire portfolio of leases in one go. The analyzer simultaneously detects tenant names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, IBANs, and dates — across French, German, Italian, and English leases.

## How it works

1. **Upload your lease PDFs** — Drag a folder of dozens or hundreds of leases.
2. **Select PII categories** — Default: Person, Email, PhoneNumber, Address, IBAN.
3. **Studio spot-check** — Review one or two leases to confirm coverage. Adjust Excluded Terms (e.g., your agency name) if needed.
4. **Download as a ZIP** — Get the entire batch as a single ZIP, organized by original filename.

## For property managers and landlords

Swiss tenancy law (CO Art. 257) and GDPR require careful handling of tenant data. Bulk-redacted lease files can be archived or shared without re-identification risk.

## Frequently asked questions

### How long does a batch of 100 leases take?

Typically 5–15 minutes depending on page count. Each page is OCR'd, analyzed, and rasterized.

### Can I keep landlord (my own) details visible?

Yes. Add the landlord name, address, and IBAN to "Excluded Terms" — they will never be auto-masked.

### Is the original lease deleted from your servers?

You can delete originals immediately after download. Default retention is 30 days; API "ephemeral" mode deletes after processing.
