Pimloc, HaystackID partner to deliver AI-powered video redaction

SAN FRANCISCO— Pimloc, an AI video privacy and analytics company, and eDiscovery services firm HaystackID have announced a strategic partnership to bring Pimloc’s Secure Redact solution into HaystackID’s suite of legal services.

Multimedia has become a powerful asset in litigation – helping clarify events in civil cases, support breach investigations, and streamline evidence review in eDiscovery workflows. But with video comes risk. Every frame can include personally identifiable information (PII), such as faces, license plates, and biometric data, all of which must be protected to meet evolving privacy laws.

“The legal industry is at a turning point where video must be treated with the same rigor as any other evidence,” said Simon Randall, CEO of Pimloc. “By offering Secure Redact within its robust portfolio, HaystackID is setting a new standard in how legal teams address video data – enabling faster, smarter responses to litigation, investigations, and regulatory demands while transforming risk into operational advantage.”

Secure Redact will support HaystackID’s clients in:

• eDiscovery and Legal Response: Securely anonymizing video evidence for litigation, legal review, and post-breach transparency.
• Regulatory Compliance and Data Subject Access Requests: Meeting federal and state mandates under FOIA, FERPA, HIPAA, CPRA, VCDPA, and sector-specific laws like Illinois BIPA and Tyler’s Law.
• Loss Prevention and Breach Investigations: Redacting video used in forensic analysis, theft detection, insurance claims, labor disputes, and incident resolution.
• Health and Safety Training: Powering compliance reviews and employee training with redacted, privacy-safe footage.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Delivering anonymized video streams for operational reporting, store traffic analysis, and layout optimization.

HaystackID serves enterprises across sectors where video evidence is prevalent and compliance is paramount, including retail, construction, education, cybersecurity, and public governance.

By offering Secure Redact within its portfolio, the company enables legal teams to handle sensitive multimedia with the same confidence as traditional evidence, without bottlenecks or compliance risk. This partnership also empowers HaystackID clients both in preparation for evolving risks and in response to emerging incidents – a critical capability in today’s regulatory landscape.

“The volume of video evidence is growing – and so are the privacy and compliance expectations that come with it,” noted Nate Latessa, chief revenue officer of HaystackID. “Integrating Secure Redact into our service offerings allows us to address these challenges directly – helping clients meet their legal and regulatory obligations efficiently, and with the accuracy and privacy focus they require.”
