Comprehensive Guide to Address Redaction
Physical addresses, while often necessary in documents, can pose significant risks if exposed. They are considered personal data, and thus fall under many data protection laws such as GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. These laws require businesses to safeguard this information or face severe penalties.
The exposure of physical addresses can lead to real-world consequences, like stalking or identity theft. For instance, a business might unintentionally expose a customer's address in a publicly available report, leading to the customer becoming a target of thieves or fraudsters.
