A library for detecting, parsing, and removing personally identifiable information from strings and objects.

[![PII replaced with placeholders](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HabaneroCake/pii-filter/master/res/highlight_placeholders.png)](./pii-filter)

---

This repository contains the [datasets](./dataset) and the [npm module for `pii-filter`](./pii-filter).

A showcase example of this library is the pii-filter [web-extension](https://github.com/HabaneroCake/pii-filter-web-ext) for 

browsers.

## Scenarios

We hope that this software can be useful in some of the following scenarios:

- privacy, security, fraud-detection, and data-auditing

- anonymizing data for research, marketing and machine learning

- accessibility and online guidance

- word tagging and word spotting

- designing chatbots

## Languages

`pii-filter` currently supports the following languages and PII:

- Dutch

    - First Names

    - Family Names

    - Pet Names

    - Medicine Names

    - Phone Numbers

    - Email Addresses

    - Dates

More information can be found in [dataset/README.md](dataset/README.md).

## Future work

- adding support for english and other languages

- detecting more PII

    - bank numbers and credit card numbers

    - passport / id numbers

    - social security numbers

- detecting PII in images

    - providing coordinates which can be used for blurring or erasing PII
