Context-aware, pluggable, and customizable data protection framework for text, images, and structured data. Democratizing de-identification technologies for privacy-compliant AI development.

▶️ Live Demo: PII Detection Pipeline

Real-time processing with Microsoft Presidio

📄

Raw Input

Contains sensitive PII data

🔍

Analysis

NLP + Pattern Recognition

Protected Output

GDPR-compliant data

📥 Installation

$ pip install presidio-analyzer presidio-anonymizer
$ python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg

💻 Real Implementation

from presidio_analyzer import AnalyzerEngine
from presidio_anonymizer import AnonymizerEngine

# Initialize engines
analyzer = AnalyzerEngine()
anonymizer = AnonymizerEngine()

# Sample text with PII
text = "My name is John Doe and my phone is 212-555-5555"

# Analyze for PII
results = analyzer.analyze(text=text, language="en")

# Anonymize detected PII
anonymized = anonymizer.anonymize(text=text, analyzer_results=results)
⚠️ Before (Raw Data)

"My name is John Doe and my phone is 212-555-5555"

After (Anonymized)

"My name is [PERSON] and my phone is [PHONE_NUMBER]"
