DataAnonymiser is built around a privacy-first workflow: **Original data → Detect PII locally → Anonymise → Use with AI** Personally identifiable information can be removed or replaced before content is shared with services such as ChatGPT, Claude, or other LLMs. ## What we're working on * PII detection * Data anonymisation and pseudonymisation * Document, PDF, and image redaction * Privacy-preserving AI workflows * Local-first processing * Sensitive data protection for LLM workflows ## Why local-first? Sending sensitive information to another cloud service for anonymisation can simply move the privacy problem elsewhere. DataAnonymiser is designed around processing sensitive information locally before it is shared with external AI services. ## Our work on Hugging Face We use this organization to explore and share resources related to: * PII detection models * Data anonymisation * Privacy-preserving AI * Local inference * Evaluation and benchmarking * Document privacy Models, datasets, demos, and other resources will be added over time. ## 🛡️ DataAnonymiser **Protect sensitive data before sharing it with AI.** 🌐 [Visit dataanonymiser.com](https://dataanonymiser.com)
