Is it legal to edit or redact a bank statement for tenant referencing?

Yes. Under UK GDPR data minimisation rules, redacting non-essential personal information (such as private spending, sort codes, and account numbers) while keeping identity proof and income history intact is completely legal and encouraged by the ICO.

Can redactions made with this tool be undone?

No. Unlike basic PDF viewers that draw superficial black rectangles over text layers, Propertypass permanently strips the underlying character vector streams from the PDF object tree and flattens the output, making redactions 100% irreversible.
