The New York Statement of Redaction (NYSE) is a document containing language that can be used by public and private organizations to protect the confidentiality of information. The language specifies how information should be redacted before it is released to the public. The NYSE applies to all New York State agencies, as well as any private organization that handles information for the state. The NYSE includes two different types of redaction: full redaction and partial redaction. Full redaction involves completely obscuring all the confidential information in the document, while partial redaction allows some information to remain visible. The language of the NYSE is written to ensure that the information is adequately protected while still providing the public with the information that is necessary. The NYSE also includes guidance on when and how to use redaction, including when it is appropriate to use full or partial redaction. This guidance can help organizations ensure that they are adequately protecting confidential information while still allowing the public to access the information it needs.
