Tips for Effective Anonymization
- For censoring words, separate multiple words with commas or spaces
- When using regex patterns, use flags like 'g' (global) to replace all occurrences
- The PII detection can identify common formats of emails, phone numbers, URLs, and credit card numbers
- For name replacement, add multiple name pairs to replace several names at once
- Use case sensitivity when you need to distinguish between capitalized and lowercase versions of words
Note: While this tool can help anonymize text, it may not catch all sensitive information. Always review the output manually for any remaining sensitive data before sharing it.
