How Privacy Shield Works
Hide sensitive information before you capture—no editing, no re-takes, no leaks.
- Open the Zight Chrome extension or desktop app
- Choose your capture type: screenshot, screen recording, webcam, or both
- Turn on Privacy Shield before you capture
- Auto-detection highlights PII like emails, phone numbers, credit cards, and account IDs
- Drag blur boxes over any other area you want to hide
- Capture or record—blur stays locked in across tabs, screens, and recording length
Why Teams Use Privacy Shield
Auto-detect PII
Privacy Shield automatically finds emails, phone numbers, credit cards, account IDs, and other private details so you can blur them before you capture.
AI-safe sharing
Sanitize screenshots and recordings before they reach AI summaries, search, or routing—so customer data never leaks into prompts or training data.
Blur across tabs and screens
Move between tools, tabs, and monitors without worry. Blur boxes stay locked in for the entire capture.
No editing required
What you blur before capture is exactly what appears in the final screenshot or recording. No post-production, no second pass.
How to Blur Sensitive Information in a Screen Recording or Screenshot
Privacy Shield is the fastest way to blur sensitive information in a video or screenshot without editing afterward. The same workflow covers both capture types.
- Open Zight in the Chrome extension or desktop app.
- Turn on Privacy Shield before you capture.
- Auto-detection highlights PII like emails, phone numbers, credit cards, and account IDs. Drag blur boxes over any other region you want to hide.
- Capture or record. Blur stays locked in for the entire screenshot or screen recording—across tabs, monitors, and recording length.
The blur is baked into the file itself, so it can never be removed by a viewer. That’s what makes it safe to share screen recordings and screenshots with engineering, customers, healthcare staff, and AI tools.
Works Everywhere You Capture
Mac App, Windows App, Chrome Extension, and Live Streaming
Privacy Shield runs in the Zight Mac app, Windows app, and Chrome extension. The same blur protection works whether you’re taking a quick screenshot, recording a multi-monitor walkthrough, or live streaming a customer demo. Sensitive information stays hidden across every capture surface—no separate redaction tool, no editing pass.
The Only Lines We Blur Are the Ones That Keep Your Data Private
From support escalations to product bug reports, Privacy Shield lets every team capture real customer context without exposing private details.
Support & Customer Success
Redact customer data from support screenshots and screen recordings before you send evidence to engineering. Stronger bug reports, faster escalations, and zero accidental PII leaks—so reps never have to choose between being helpful and being safe.
HIPAA-Compliant Screen Recording for Healthcare
Train staff using live EHR and admin systems while keeping patient information private. Blur PII like names, dates of birth, MRNs, and record IDs so your screen recordings and screenshots support HIPAA-aligned workflows from the start—no redacted-after-the-fact editing required.
AI Workflows & Safe Data for AI
Blur sensitive information before screenshots and recordings hit AI summaries, search, routing, or storage. Privacy Shield becomes the safe layer between real customer context and the AI systems that act on it—so your team can use AI on real workflows without leaking customer data into prompts, logs, or training data.
Product & Engineering
Capture internal tools, admin dashboards, and workflows safely. Hide proprietary data and configurations while still showing your process clearly—so bug reports and design reviews carry real context, not screenshots someone tried to redact in Preview.
Built for Compliance-Sensitive Teams
From HIPAA to GDPR, Privacy Shield helps your team align with data protection standards. By hiding sensitive information before you capture, you reduce risk and increase confidence—without extra tools or a second editing pass. Most video redaction software lives outside your workflow as a standalone tool; Privacy Shield builds secure screen recording into the same Zight capture you already use, so safe sharing happens by default instead of by extra step.

Open Zight in the Chrome extension or desktop app, turn on Privacy Shield before you capture, and let auto-detection highlight PII like emails, phone numbers, credit cards, and account IDs. Drag blur boxes over any other region you want to hide, then capture. The blur is baked into the file, so it can’t be removed by a viewer. Privacy Shield works on Mac, Windows, and Chrome, and stays locked in across tabs, monitors, and recording length.
HIPAA-compliant screen recording means capturing screen content from systems that contain protected health information (PHI) without exposing patient data in the final recording. Privacy Shield supports this workflow by hiding patient PII like names, dates of birth, MRNs, and record IDs before the capture is saved, so PHI is never recorded in the first place. Your organization is still responsible for executing a BAA and following its own HIPAA policies.
Privacy Shield supports HIPAA-compliant video recording by hiding patient PII—names, dates of birth, MRNs, record IDs—before the screen recording is saved. Captures from EHR and admin systems can include real workflows without exposing PHI in the final file. Your organization is still responsible for executing a BAA with Zight and following its own HIPAA policies.
PII (personally identifiable information) is any data that can identify a specific person. Common examples in screen recordings and screenshots include emails, phone numbers, full names, home addresses, credit card numbers, account IDs, social security numbers, dates of birth, and medical record numbers. Internal data like API keys, admin URLs, customer IDs, and CRM records are also sensitive even if they’re not classic PII. Privacy Shield auto-detects the most common PII patterns and lets you blur any other region manually.
Yes. Privacy Shield runs in the Zight Mac app, Windows app, and Chrome extension. The same blur protection works across all three—including during live streaming demos with multiple monitors or tabs open.
Auto-detection covers emails, phone numbers, credit card numbers, account IDs, and similar PII patterns. You can also drag blur boxes over any custom region—names, addresses, internal tool URLs, or anything else you want to hide.
Yes. Privacy Shield protects both screenshots and screen recordings. The same auto-detection and manual blur boxes work across both capture types.
Not yet. Privacy Shield is applied before you capture, so sensitive information is never recorded in the first place. We’re exploring post-capture redaction for a future release.
Yes—that’s a core use case. Sanitize screenshots and recordings before they’re summarized, indexed, or routed by AI, so customer data never enters prompts, logs, or training data.
Yes. Privacy Shield supports blur boxes across multiple tabs and monitors, locked in for the entire capture.
Yes. Anything blurred before capture is permanent in the final file. The blur is baked into the recording, not a viewer-side overlay.
