Question 1

Does my data ever leave my computer?

Accepted Answer

No. ExWoo runs wholly on-device using local machine learning models and deterministic regex engines. It makes zero cloud API calls for detection or processing, ensuring total data sovereignty.

Question 2

What file types are supported?

Accepted Answer

ExWoo processes PDF documents natively, including scanned PDFs via local OCR, text-based PDFs, and fully interactive fillable PDF forms — without breaking the form structure.

Question 3

Can I define custom ID formats?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Professional and Enterprise tiers let you define custom regex matchers alongside context-aware dictionary guards for specialized internal IDs or regional document numbers beyond the 40+ built-in types.

Question 4

How is this different from cloud redaction tools?

Accepted Answer

Cloud tools require you to upload your most sensitive documents to another company's servers, breaking privacy boundaries. ExWoo gives you the same AI-powered contextual detection right on your own machine.

Question 5

Is it suitable for HIPAA, PHIPA, or PIPEDA?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By keeping processing entirely local or within your air-gapped network, ExWoo removes itself from the compliance scope — you do not need a Business Associate Agreement with us because we never touch your data.
