Patterns to redact
Redacted output
Hi team, Following up on our discussion. I sent the contract to [EMAIL] on 03/15/2026. Their phone is [PHONE] and we'll be wiring $12,500.00 to confirm. Auth code from the IT team: server [IP], account [CARD]. Please don't share my SSN: [SSN]. Thanks. — Jane
Privacy: all processing happens in your browser — nothing is sent to a server. NOT a substitute for production redaction — for legal, medical, or compliance work use a vetted DLP tool. Always do a manual review pass; pattern-matching catches the obvious patterns but misses contextual PII (names, addresses, account references that don’t match defaults).

What it does
Strip PII from text before sharing it with an LLM, posting in Slack, or pasting into a Jira ticket. Toggle which patterns to scrub: emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, IPs, URLs, dates, dollar amounts. Add custom regex if needed.
