Pimloc raises $5M to scale AI-powered video privacy redaction globally

London-based AI privacy company Pimloc has secured $5 million in Seed funding led by Amadeus Capital Partners and Edge VC, bringing total funding to $14.3 million as the company accelerates global expansion of its Secure Redact platform.

Founded in 2016 by Simon Randall, Pimloc addresses the growing tension between video surveillance utility and privacy compliance. The company's flagship product, Secure Redact, uses AI-powered deep learning to automatically detect and blur personal data, including faces, license plates, and screens, in both recorded and live video feeds from CCTV, body-worn cameras, and dash cams.

Pimloc's claims to achieve over 99% accuracy in automated detection of personally identifiable information (PII), dramatically reducing the time organizations spend on manual redaction for GDPR, HIPAA, and CJIS compliance. The platform supports both visual and audio redaction, using named entity recognition to identify and mask spoken personal information while maintaining the operational value of video data.

The solution addresses critical pain points for organizations managing large video archives who need to respond to data subject access requests (DSAR), freedom of information requests (FOIA), or share footage publicly. Secure Redact integrates seamlessly with major video management systems like Milestone XProtect and offers flexible deployment options from SaaS to private cloud installations.

With video surveillance becoming ubiquitous across education, healthcare, law enforcement, and retail sectors, Pimloc's technology enables organizations to leverage mass-scale video for security and analytics while preserving individual privacy. The funding will support global expansion as regulatory pressure around video privacy continues to intensify worldwide.
