Open source PII redaction, in production since 2019
Philterd's open source software finds personal and health information in documents and data and redacts it. It runs in your cloud, your data center, or on your PC, so your data stays with you.
Choose how you redact
Pick the one that fits how you work.
For IT and data teams
A redaction API you deploy in your own cloud or data center. Your services send it text and get redacted text back, and nothing goes to a third party.

Each engagement starts with a fixed price and a defined scope, and the work happens inside your own environment. Pick the one closest to your situation, or book a call and we will help you scope it.
For healthcare apps
For an app facing a pilot, a diligence process, or a security review. You get a read-only review with a location for every finding, a verdict you can show a reviewer, and a plan for moving to HIPAA hosting.
Fixed price. Nothing in your stack changes. May be free or reduced cost for nonprofits and universities.

For data moving between systems that has to lose its PII on the way. We design the redaction, build it inside your cloud, measure it on your own data, and hand you a system you own.
Starts with a fixed-price Discovery. The plan is yours whether or not we build it.
See the engagement →For model training
For a corpus you want to train or fine-tune on that contains personal information. You get a de-identified corpus and a precision and recall report per entity type, measured against a gold standard built from your records.
Starts with a fixed-price Discovery.
