PII Eraser is a self-hosted, high-performance REST API designed to detect, redact, and anonymize sensitive data within your own infrastructure. Built as a alternative to Microsoft Presidio or Azure Language PII, PII Eraser ensures that your most sensitive text and chat data never leaves your VPC.
While many PII tools are optimized primarily for North America, PII Eraser is built with a "Global-First" philosophy. We provide deep, localized support for over 60 entity types across 15+ countries and 6 languages. This includes specialized identifiers often missed by generic models, such as German Steuer-IDs, French NIR numbers, and Austrian Firmenbuchnummern (FN). Whether you are operating in the DACH region, Benelux, or North America, PII Eraser provides higher accuracy than big-tech alternatives.
PII Eraser is built natively for the GenAI landscape. It features:
- Native OpenAI Chat Support: Anonymize complex, multi-turn conversations while maintaining context through intelligent pooling.
- 1M+ Token Context: Process massive documents and entire chat histories without accuracy degradation or the need for fragile client-side chunking.
- Blazing Fast Performance: Process over 5,000 tokens per second on standard x86 CPUs. - No GPUs or specialized hardware required.
For organizations in highly regulated sectors—such as Banking, Financial Services, and LegalTech—procurement is often the biggest bottleneck. PII Eraser offers a "Minimal Paperwork" advantage:
- Air-Gapped Deployment: The container functions entirely offline with zero telemetry or "phone home" mechanics.
- Zero-CVE Hardening: Built on Chainguard distroless images, PII Eraser is a stateless, hardened container designed to pass the most rigorous DevSecOps reviews.
- No DPA Required: Because you host the container and we never see your data, we are not a "Data Processor" under GDPR or CCPA, drastically simplifying your vendor risk assessments.
Whether you are looking to replace a legacy Microsoft Presidio setup or build a real-time PII guardrail for your LLM agents, PII Eraser is a drop-in solution. We offer a standardized REST API, a Python interface, and full compatibility with existing Presidio Analyzer endpoints.
