What is Text Anonymization?
Text anonymization is the process of removing or masking Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from a document or dataset.

Anonymization Methods Explained
This tool offers four powerful ways to protect your data:
- Placeholders: Replaces data with generic tags like
[EMAIL]or[PHONE]. Great for maintaining readability. - Masking: Partially hides data, e.g.,
j***[email protected]. Useful when structure needs to be verified. - Blocks: Replaces sensitive info with solid blocks
█████. Perfect for visual redaction. - Hashing: Replaces data with a consistent short ID. Useful for tracking unique entities without knowing who they are.
