Protected terms: your client and project names
No detector can know that "Cedar" is your client's codename. Protected terms are the list you give Redaxa so that every check flags those words like any other finding.
At a glance
| Reported as | Custom protected term |
|---|---|
| Category | Your own terms |
| Severity | high: direct financial exposure or a strong identifier, such as a card or national number |
| Replaced with | [CUSTOM TERM] |
| Where it runs | Web workspace and Windows app (free, your own list); Chrome extension with Pro; shared team list with Business. Terms are checked on Redaxa's server and the text is not stored. |

What it looks like
Up to 30 terms of 2 to 64 characters each, matched anywhere in the text without regard to case. Your own list works for free in the web workspace and the Windows app; Pro adds it to the Chrome extension; Business adds a shared list for the whole team.

What it does not flag
Summarise the Q3 risks for the project.: not flagged. Nothing in the list appears, so nothing is flagged.
Known false positives
Text that is harmless but still flagged today. Listed so you can recognise it, not hidden.
We planted a cedar tree: flagged as Custom protected term. Matching ignores case and word boundaries: a one-word term also matches the ordinary word. Prefer distinctive multi-word terms.
What to do
Add each form you actually type (full name, short name, codename) as its own term, and remove terms when an engagement ends.
Set up your list
Add your terms in the web workspace under Protected terms, or in the Windows app. Pro and Business start with a 3-day free trial: a card or another payment method is needed, nothing is charged for 3 days, and you can cancel before it ends from Manage subscription. See plans.
