## Why real estate needs redaction

Real-estate transactions involve heavy PII flows: tenant background packs, property deeds with seller/buyer identities, mortgage applications with full financial profiles, and rental contracts with employer and reference data. Every document leaving your trusted environment should have non-essential PII removed.

Common obligations:
- **GDPR** (EU) — data minimization for tenant data
- **Swiss FADP** — tenant data protection (CO Art. 257 context)
- **Local rental laws** — retention limits for rejected applicant data

## Common documents we redact

- **Lease agreements** — see https://www.redact-pdf.ai/redact/lease-agreements
- **Property deeds** — see https://www.redact-pdf.ai/redact/property-deeds
- **Mortgage and loan documents** — see https://www.redact-pdf.ai/redact/mortgage-documents
- **Tenant applications and background checks** — see https://www.redact-pdf.ai/redact/tenant-applications

## Typical PII to redact

- Tenant names, signatures, contact info
- Postal addresses (current and prior)
- Phone and email
- IBAN / bank account numbers for direct debit
- Employer name and verification details
- References (other landlords, employers)
- Identity documents (passport, national ID copies)

## How it works for real-estate teams

1. Upload an entire portfolio of leases, applications, or transaction files in one batch
2. Select PII categories: Person, Email, Phone, Address, IBAN, Date
3. Review one or two documents in the Studio for quality assurance
4. Download the entire batch as a ZIP — ready to archive or share

## Privacy-by-design defaults

- Documents processed on Microsoft Azure infrastructure (SOC 2 Type II, GDPR-compliant) with Swiss / EU data residency
- Default 30-day retention with immediate manual deletion
- Documents never used to train AI models
- Irreversible rasterized redaction — no recoverable text in the output PDF
