PII Redactor

Auto-detect and mask personal data (names, emails, phones, SSNs, addresses) before sending text to AI. 100% client-side, nothing leaves your browser.

Why You Should Redact PII Before Using AI Tools

Every time you paste text into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI tool, you risk exposing personal data. Email addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, and API keys can end up in training data or server logs — even if the provider says otherwise.

GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA all require organizations to protect personal data. Sending unredacted PII to third-party AI services can constitute a data breach. Our PII Redactor helps you comply by automatically detecting and masking sensitive information before it ever leaves your browser.

The tool detects emails, US phone numbers, SSNs, credit card numbers, IP addresses, dates of birth, street addresses, ZIP codes, URLs, and API key patterns. All processing happens client-side — your text never touches our servers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my text get sent to a server?▾
No. All redaction happens locally in your browser using pattern matching. Nothing is transmitted anywhere.
What types of PII does it detect?▾
Emails, phone numbers (US format), SSNs, credit card numbers, IP addresses, dates of birth, street addresses, ZIP codes, URLs, and API key patterns.
Can I use the redacted text in ChatGPT?▾
Yes — that is exactly the intended workflow. Redact first, then safely paste the cleaned text into any AI tool.
Does it detect names?▾
Currently, name detection requires NLP models which would need a server. We detect structured PII patterns. For names, we recommend manually reviewing the text.
