MasklyFour digits are enough.
Twelve are a risk.
Most of the time, nobody needs the full Aadhaar number on a copy of the card. Maskly exists to make the safer copy the easy one.
Copies
multiply.
An Aadhaar card is photocopied, photographed, scanned, emailed and filed, again and again: for a bank account, a SIM card, a job, a lease, a hospital visit.
Each copy carries the full number and a QR code full of personal details, and most of the people holding those copies never needed either. Masking by hand is slow and easy to get wrong.
Maskly does it in seconds. It finds the card, hides the first eight digits and the QR code, and gives back a copy that's still useful but no longer dangerous. It keeps nothing for itself.
Four principles.
Keep nothing
A privacy tool that stores your documents is a new risk, not a fix. Images live in memory and are deleted after one download.
Change only what must change
The first eight digits and the QR code are covered; everything else in the image is left exactly as it was.
Say what's real
Every feature is labelled as available, on request or planned. Automated masking isn't perfect, and we say so.
