About PII Anonymizer

Detect and anonymize personally identifiable information (PII) in text. Replaces names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, SSNs, credit cards, and IPs with placeholder tokens. Uses DeepSeek AI for context-aware detection. Processed server-side then immediately deleted.

8 PII Categories

Detects names, emails, phones, addresses, SSNs, credit card numbers, IP addresses, and dates of birth.

AI-Powered Detection

DeepSeek AI identifies PII in context — catches names in narrative text that regex alone would miss.

Anonymized Output

All PII replaced with [REDACTED-NAME], [REDACTED-EMAIL] etc. Original text structure preserved.

Privacy-First Processing

Text sent to DeepSeek API for processing only. No data stored, no logs retained. GDPR-friendly.
