Acme Redactors is a FOIA-compliant public records management platform for individual-level government records. Submit natural-language queries — our AI matches the right dataset and applies redaction before returning results. Privacy is configurable per query: choose the standard tier included with every request, or pay to dial redaction up or down — see Pricing below.
[b(Ex.N)] markers citing the
applicable exemption — e.g. SSNs become [b(Ex.3)],
clearance levels become [b(Ex.1)].
Personal privacy fields (names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers) are
smart-redacted — replaced with realistic equivalents so record
structure is preserved: “Marcus Thompson” becomes “David Ellison”,
“412-67-8234” becomes [b(Ex.3)].
All non-exempt fields — case numbers, dates, titles, pay grades, dispositions —
are released in full per the FOIA segregability requirement.
At the core of Acme Redactors is the cloaking device: a layered identity-masking engine that camouflages and protects the identities of both public servants and US citizens appearing in public records. Rather than simply blacking out sensitive fields, the cloaking device substitutes realistic cover identities — different names, dates of birth, and contact details — ensuring that no individual can be traced through released documents while preserving the structural integrity of every record for legitimate oversight and research.
Acme Redactors ingests raw public records, classifies each field against
the applicable exemption schedule, and applies the two-tier scheme automatically:
blind [b(Ex.N)] markers for classified or statutorily protected values,
and realistic cover identities for personal privacy fields. Statutory exemptions are
always enforced; everything else is yours to dial up or down, per query.
Every query includes standard FOIA-compliant redaction at no charge. You can pay to move the dial in either direction, per query: add privacy with aggressive cloaking of indirect identifiers, or subtract discretionary privacy to see personal identifiers in full (statutory exemptions like SSNs and classified markings are never for sale — they're withheld at every tier).
Subtract privacy. Only statutory exemptions withheld — names, addresses, phone numbers, and DOB released in full. For verified requesters.
Two-tier FOIA redaction: statutory exemptions plus smart cloaking of personal privacy fields. The default on every query.
Add privacy. Extends cloaking to indirect identifiers — locations, dates, employers, relationships, and physical descriptions.
