Is it safe to paste real customer data into this PII scanner?

Yes. The TaskVerified PII Privacy Guard processes all inputs entirely client-side. The file extraction and validation logic run in your local browser memory. No data is sent to our servers, logged, or stored. It is a completely secure local sandbox.

What is the Luhn Algorithm used in credit card checks?

The Luhn algorithm (also known as the "Mod 10" formula) is a simple checksum formula used to validate a variety of identification numbers, such as credit card numbers. By running the algorithm on detected numeric sequences, our tool avoids false positive flags on random strings of numbers, highlighting only actual credit card patterns.

Can I allow my company email address to pass the email scanner?

Yes. In the Validation Settings panel, you can enter allowed email domains (e.g., "mycompany.com"). Any email address matching these whitelisted domains will be ignored by the PII scanner, while other external emails will continue to be flagged.

How do I automate PII screening for developer commits or support tickets?

You can use the TaskVerified REST API. By sending a POST request to /api/v1/validate with the tool "pii_detection_guard" and passing the document content, your servers will receive a machine-readable JSON response showing the pass/fail status and the exact list of detected violations.

Does the tool anonymize or replace the PII automatically?

The free browser tool is currently a scanner and validator: it points out where PII is located so you can redact it manually. For automated programmatic masking, hashing, or anonymization pipelines, look at our enterprise data privacy integration features.
