Our regex-based detection engine identifies over 50 types of personal information with pattern-based precision. Same input, same output—every time.

How Detection Works

Pattern Matching

Uses carefully crafted regex patterns for each entity type, ensuring consistent and predictable results across all documents.

Confidence Scoring

Each detection includes a confidence score (0-1) based on pattern strength and context, helping you filter results.

Context Awareness

Surrounding text context improves detection accuracy, reducing false positives while catching edge cases.
