anonymize.today — Simple, Transparent PII Detection & Anonymization
Deterministic, regex-based protection for GDPR compliance. No AI, no guessing—just transparent, auditable results on ISO 27001-certified servers in Germany.
Platform Overview
anonymize.today is a simple, transparent PII (Personally Identifiable Information) detection and anonymization platform built on Microsoft Presidio technology. The platform uses predefined regex patterns for 100% reproducible results — same input, same output, every time. Fully auditable for regulatory compliance.
PII Detection & Anonymization Methods
PII Detection
Detect 256 entity types across personal identifiers, financial data, government IDs (30+ international variations), location information, digital identifiers (IP, MAC, URLs), organization data, and temporal data.
5 Anonymization Methods
- Replace — Substitute with placeholder
- Redact — Remove completely
- Hash — SHA-256 hashing
- Encrypt — AES-256-GCM encryption
- Mask — Partial masking
Multi-Language Support
27 languages including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean. RTL support for Arabic. Automatic language detection.
Detection Presets
Default and public presets for common compliance scenarios. 18+ country-specific presets optimized for local PII patterns. Real-time processing without data storage.
Deterministic Approach
The platform deliberately uses regex-based detection instead of AI/ML for critical compliance benefits.
Regex-Based Approach
- 100% reproducible results
- Fully auditable for compliance
- No training data required
- Transparent decision making
- Fast, predictable performance
- No model drift over time
AI/ML Approaches (Avoided)
- Results vary between runs
- Black box decision making
- Requires training data
- Difficult to audit
- Higher compute costs
- Model drift over time
