Pimloc

Pimloc is a technology company, founded in 2016, that specializes in AI-driven video privacy and analytics. The company's core product is Secure Redact, a SaaS platform that uses deep learning algorithms to automatically detect and anonymize personally identifiable information (PII) in video, audio, and images. This includes redacting faces, heads, license plates, and sensitive information within audio and on-screen text for both live streams and stored files.

The company was co-founded by CEO Simon Randall and CTO James Leigh. Their journey began with a prior business where they co-created Autographer, an intelligent wearable camera. This experience highlighted the critical need for robust data privacy solutions to manage the massive influx of visual data from 'always-on' cameras, which directly inspired the creation of Pimloc and its privacy-first platform.

Pimloc operates on a business-to-business model, serving a diverse range of sectors including law enforcement, public safety, healthcare, transportation, retail, and education. Its technology helps organizations comply with data privacy regulations such as GDPR and freedom of information requests (FOIA) by automating the time-consuming process of manual redaction. Clients can deploy the Secure Redact platform via SaaS, API integrations into existing workflows, or as an enterprise-level solution in a private cloud. The business generates revenue by providing these subscription-based services, which significantly increase the efficiency and accuracy of anonymizing video footage, reportedly completing redaction tasks up to 200 times faster than manual methods.
