Configure Number Redaction
Number redaction is a supported feature of Conversation AI that can be enabled by contacting our Support team or your Account Manager.
Redaction can be enabled for all entity types, or for specific types, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI) or Payment Card Industry (PCI) information.
Any text that matches to the specified type mentioned during a recorded call will be automatically removed from the resulting transcription and call recording.
Number redaction is not retroactive and only affects call recordings processed after the feature is enabled. To reprocess existing call recordings, please contact your Account Manager for a professional services evaluation.
