Have a look at

,----[ C-h v org-emphasis-alist RET ]
| org-emphasis-alist is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is shown below.
| 
| Documentation:
| Special syntax for emphasized text.
| Text starting and ending with a special character will be emphasized, for
| example *bold*, _underlined_ and /italic/.  This variable sets the marker
| characters, the face to be used by font-lock for highlighting in Org-mode
| Emacs buffers, and the HTML tags to be used for this.
| For LaTeX export, see the variable `org-export-latex-emphasis-alist'.
| For DocBook export, see the variable `org-export-docbook-emphasis-alist'.
| Use customize to modify this, or restart Emacs after changing it.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| Value: (("*" bold "<b>" "</b>")
|  ("/" italic "<i>" "</i>")
|  ("_" underline "<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">" "</span>")
|  ("=" org-code "<code>" "</code>" verbatim)
|  ("~" org-verbatim "<code>" "</code>" verbatim)
|  ("+"
|   (:strike-through t)
|   "<del>" "</del>")
|  ("@" org-warning "<b>" "</b>"))
| 
| Original value was 
| (("*" bold "<b>" "</b>")
|  ("/" italic "<i>" "</i>")
|  ("_" underline "<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">" "</span>")
|  ("=" org-code "<code>" "</code>" verbatim)
|  ("~" org-verbatim "<code>" "</code>" verbatim)
|  ("+"
|   (:strike-through t)
|   "<del>" "</del>"))

You can define your own syntax (see my addition for @) with an
associated face (second term in each list).  The face could be one which
/hides/ the text, as you desire.
