> Detect PII. Anonymize data. Use AI securely. Enterprise-grade PII detection and anonymization built on Microsoft Presidio.

### The Problem

Organizations handle sensitive personal data daily. Names, emails, addresses, health records, financial details. Every document, email, and database contains personally identifiable information that regulations demand you protect.

AI tools amplify the risk. Every prompt to ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot potentially exposes client names, patient records, or financial data. Every shared document is a compliance risk.

### How anonymize.solutions Works

Three core capabilities: Analyze, Anonymize, Decrypt.

**Analyze** — Detect 320+ entity types across 48 languages. Our dual-engine approach combines Microsoft Presidio NLP with deterministic pattern matching for comprehensive coverage. Names, emails, phone numbers, credit cards, IBANs, medical record numbers, and hundreds more.

**Anonymize** — Seven protection methods: Replace (synthetic data), Redact (permanent removal), Mask (partial hiding), Hash (SHA-256 pseudonymization), Encrypt (AES-256-GCM reversible), Asymmetric Encrypt (RSA-4096 public-key), Keep (detect-only audit mode). Choose the right method for your compliance needs.

**Decrypt** — Reverse encrypted anonymization when authorized. Only the key holder can restore original data. Zero-Knowledge architecture means we never see your encryption key or original data.

### Key Features

- **Deterministic Detection** — Pattern-based recognition, not AI guessing. Same input always produces same output. Fully auditable and reproducible.
- **Zero-Knowledge** — Your encryption key never leaves your device. We cannot access your data even if compelled. Argon2id key derivation, XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption.
- **320+ Entity Types** — Names, emails, phone numbers, credit cards, SSNs, IBANs, IP addresses, medical records, and hundreds more across personal, financial, medical, and technical categories.
- **48 Languages** — Full NLP support for 25 languages via spaCy, 7 via Stanza, 16 via XLM-RoBERTa. Automatic language detection. RTL support for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu.
- **Dual Detection Engines** — NLP Engine (context-aware, Microsoft Presidio) and Pattern Engine (regex + checksum, 317 recognizers). Use individually or as hybrid for maximum accuracy.
- **Confidence Scoring & Validation** — Multi-layered validation with checksum verification, confidence scoring (0.0-1.0), and context-aware recognition reduces false positives.
- **Image Anonymization** — OCR-powered detection in scanned documents and images using Tesseract + Presidio.
- **Compliance Presets** — Pre-configured entity sets for GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and custom compliance requirements.

### Deployment Models

- **SaaS (Online Hosted)** — Fastest deployment. Managed infrastructure on ISO 27001 certified German servers.
- **Managed Private** — Isolated environment with your branding. Enterprise IAM/SSO integration.
- **Self-Managed** — Full control on your infrastructure. Deployment artifacts for bare metal, VM, or container.

### Integrations

- REST API for programmatic access
- MCP Server for AI assistant integration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)
- Office Add-in for Word, Excel, PowerPoint
- Desktop App (Windows, macOS, Linux) with encrypted local vault
- Chrome Extension for AI chat protection
- Air-Gapped Desktop App for 100% offline processing

## Features

> https://anonymize.solutions/features.html
> Comprehensive PII detection and anonymization platform. 320+ entity types, 48 languages, 7 anonymization methods, 70+ countries, image OCR, reversible encryption, compliance presets.

### Detection Engines

**NLP Engine (Default)** — Context-aware detection powered by Microsoft Presidio. Uses spaCy, Stanza, and XLM-RoBERTa NLP models for 48 languages. 320+ entity types. Best for documents, emails, chat logs, and unstructured text.

**Pattern Engine** — Deterministic regex-based detection with checksum validation. 317 recognizers for structured data: credit cards (Luhn), IBANs (MOD 97), SSNs, phone numbers, emails, IP addresses. Best for structured/semi-structured data, logs, databases, CSV files.

**Hybrid Mode** — Combines both engines. NLP detects contextual entities, Pattern validates structured formats. Maximum accuracy with cross-engine verification. Best for mixed-content documents.

### 320+ Entity Types

Organized by category:

- **Personal**: Full names, first names, last names, dates of birth, ages, gender, nationalities
- **Contact**: Email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, postal codes
- **Financial**: Credit card numbers (with Luhn validation), IBANs (with MOD 97 validation), BIC/SWIFT codes, bank account numbers, tax IDs, VAT numbers
- **Government IDs**: Social Security Numbers, passport numbers, driver's license numbers, national ID numbers
- **Medical**: Medical record numbers, health plan beneficiary numbers, drug names, medical conditions
- **Technical**: IP addresses (v4/v6), MAC addresses, URLs, domain names, AWS keys, Azure keys, GitHub tokens
- **Custom**: User-defined entities with regex patterns and optional NLP context rules

### 5 Anonymization Methods

1. **Replace** — Substitute with synthetic data. "John Smith" becomes "Maria Garcia". Maintains document readability and structure.
2. **Redact** — Permanent removal. "John Smith" becomes "[PERSON]". Irreversible. Best for document production and FOIA.
3. **Mask** — Partial hiding. "john@email.com" becomes "j***@***.com". Preserves format while hiding details.
4. **Hash (SHA-256)** — Consistent pseudonymization. Same name always produces same hash. Enables analytics while protecting identity. "John Smith" becomes "a7f3b2c1".
5. **Encrypt (AES-256-GCM)** — Reversible protection. Only key holders can decrypt. "John Smith" becomes "ENC[x7k9m2...]". Supports role-based access with multiple keys.

### Image Anonymization

OCR-powered PII detection in scanned documents and images. Tesseract extracts text from images, Presidio analyzes extracted text, solid-color rectangles redact detected entities in the original image. Supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, WebP, GIF. 25+ image entity types.

### Decryption and Re-identification

Reverse encrypted anonymization when authorized. Personal encryption key required. AES-256-GCM ensures tamper detection. Session-based decryption for temporary access. Audit trail logs all decryption events.

## Security

> https://anonymize.solutions/security.html
> Zero-Knowledge architecture with AES-256-GCM encryption, TLS 1.3, Argon2id key derivation. ISO 27001 infrastructure. GDPR compliant. OWASP Top 10 protected.

### Encryption Architecture

Five layers of cryptographic protection:

1. **Transport Layer (TLS 1.3)** — All API communication encrypted in transit. HSTS enforced. Certificate pinning for mobile clients.
2. **Application Layer (AES-256-GCM)** — Text encrypted with per-operation keys before processing. Authenticated encryption prevents tampering.
3. **Vault Layer (XChaCha20-Poly1305)** — Desktop App vault encrypted with extended-nonce cipher. 24-byte nonce eliminates nonce-reuse risk.
4. **Key Derivation (Argon2id)** — Password-based key derivation using memory-hard function. Resistant to GPU attacks and side-channel attacks.
5. **Recovery (BIP39)** — 24-word mnemonic phrase for vault recovery. Industry standard from cryptocurrency wallets. Offline backup capability.

### Zero-Knowledge Architecture

We never see your data. The platform is designed so that:
- Your encryption key never leaves your device
- Text is processed in memory and immediately discarded
- No original text is ever written to disk, logged, cached, or used for training
- Even if our servers are compromised, your data remains protected
- We cannot comply with data access requests because we do not have the data

### Zero Text Storage

All text submitted for anonymization is processed exclusively in-memory. Input and output are discarded immediately upon completion. No logs of submitted text content are maintained. Only metadata (timestamps, token consumption, endpoint usage) is recorded for billing.

### Detection Engines Security
