Only the recognised letter text, after personal details (names, addresses, IBAN, tax ID, insurance, customer and file numbers, phone numbers, emails, and the data you entered) have been replaced with placeholders on your device. Automatic masking cannot guarantee that every personal detail is detected. Also sent: the chosen language, today's date and a random device ID used to count your free monthly analyses.
