    OP here. I built this because I recently caught myself almost pasting a block of logs containing AWS keys into Claude. The Problem: I need the reasoning capabilities of cloud models (GPT/Claude/Gemini), but I can't trust myself not to accidentally leak PII or secrets. The Solution: A Chrome extension that acts as a local middleware. It intercepts the prompt and runs a local BERT model (via a Python FastAPI backend) to scrub names, emails, and keys before the request leaves the browser. A few notes up front (to set expectations clearly): Everything runs 100% locally. Regex detection…

    Hi HN, I’m one of the maintainers of Bridge Anonymization. We built this because the existing solutions for translating sensitive user content are insufficient for many of our privacy-concious clients (Governments, Banks, Healthcare, etc.). We couldn't send PII to third-party APIs, but standard redaction destroyed the translation quality. If you scrub "John" to "[PERSON]", the translation engine loses gender context (often defaulting to masculine), which breaks grammatical agreement in languages like French or German. So we built a reversible, local-first pipeline for Node.js/Bun. Here…

    I built the desktop app that detects and redacts personal data (or PII) locally without sending any text to server. It supports rule-based filtering and AI model-based redaction (eg openai privacy filter). It's open source and free. Please check out the repo and https://pii-gui.vercel.app/

    Needed this in my own work, anonymizing PII/PHI and decided to build this because presidio didn't really cut it for our use-case. Try it and maybe let me know if you have any feedback :)

    PII Detective is a web application designed to identify, classify, and protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in data platforms such as BigQuery and Snowflake. It leverages LLMs to identify PII column names, and with human-in-the-loop validation, uses Dynamic Data Masking Policies to easily enforce Access Control Limits (ACLs) while minimizing user friction. For comparison, GCP has a "Sensitive Data Protection" service which promises similar functionality, but it can become extremely costly since it runs hundreds of regex queries on the entire contents of the table. For…

    Hi HN, I built PII Firewall because I got tired of watching "privacy" APIs secretly pipe user data to cloud AI models. If you're using GPT/Claude to redact PII, you're literally giving the AI your PII. What makes this different: - Zero AI – deterministic regex + 30 checksum validators (Luhn, Verhoeff, Mod 11/97) - Zero storage – processes on Cloudflare edge, no logs, no persistence - 152 PII types – SSN, Aadhaar, 50+ country IDs, 20 API key formats, crypto wallets - Two modes: `/fast` (2-5ms) for structured PII, `/deep` (5-15ms) adds names/addresses via 2000+ name…
