Labels the model can learn around
Replace names and contact details with labels such as [PERSON] and [EMAIL], so the text keeps its shape for training while the personal data is gone.
AI training and fine-tuning data
A model can repeat what it was trained on, and personal data cannot be trained back out. Philterd de-identifies the corpus in your own cloud before training, with a person reviewing the uncertain cases and the result measured against your own data.
For teams preparing training data
For teams that want it done with them
Replace names and contact details with labels such as [PERSON] and [EMAIL], so the text keeps its shape for training while the personal data is gone.
In Philter Workspace, reviewers accept or override the detections Philter is less sure of, so the hard cases get a human decision.
Philter Scope scores a policy’s precision and recall against records your reviewers have marked, so you know how well it works on your data before you train.
Redaction at corpus scale
Redacts text at corpus scale through an API in the same cloud account as your training data, so the raw corpus does not move.
About Philter →Human review
Reviewers accept or override proposed redactions, and every decision is recorded.
About Philter Workspace →Measurement
Scores a redaction policy on precision and recall against gold-standard data, so a policy change can be measured.
About Philter Scope →A team that wants help
We de-identify the corpus with you and hand back a precision and recall report scored per entity type.

Aggressive PII redaction for documents being fed into LLM training, fine-tuning, or RAG vector stores — preserves semantic structure with type tokens.
De-identify clinical notes for research, ML training, or analytics — preserving temporal relationships via per-patient date shifting.
A balanced starting policy covering common PII types — names, contact info, government IDs, payment data — with no vertical-specific tuning.
Once PII is baked into model weights it is extractable for the model's life. The clean room pattern: Philter redacts, Arbiter reviews, Philter Scope measures.
Research shows LLMs memorize and leak training data, and unlearning it afterward is unreliable. The dependable control is to redact before training.
A privacy tool should never be trained on the data it protects. Why Philterd's models are built entirely on synthetic data, and what that means for compliance.
