CSV PII Scanner

Audit every column for emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, and IP addresses — and get a redacted report without your data ever leaving the browser.

01 · How it works

Three steps, then done.

Load a CSV, run the scan, and read the report. The tool inspects every cell in every column, matches it against well-known PII patterns, and tells you exactly which columns leak which kind of sensitive data.

1

Load your CSV

Drop in or paste any CSV file. Parsing happens locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and no server ever sees a single row.

2

Run the PII scan

Every column is tested cell-by-cell against patterns for email, phone, SSN, credit card (Luhn-validated), and IPv4 addresses. Credit-card and SSN checks use structural validation to cut false positives.

3

Read the redacted report

You get one row per column and PII type, with a match count and a safely redacted sample so you can confirm the finding without re-exposing the raw value.

02 · Why ours

Why scan for PII before you share a CSVPII

Exports leak. A spreadsheet meant for analytics quietly carries customer emails, card numbers, or government IDs. Catch it before it leaves your control.

  • 01

    Nothing leaves your browser

    The entire scan runs client-side in JavaScript. Your raw rows are never transmitted, logged, or stored — the report is generated on your own machine.

  • 02

    Validated, not just matched

    Credit cards pass a Luhn checksum and length check; SSNs reject impossible area and group blocks. That means fewer false alarms than a naive regex sweep.

  • 03

    Column-level visibility

    Instead of a vague yes/no, you see which specific columns contain which PII types and how many cells matched — so you know exactly what to drop, mask, or anonymize.

  • 04

    Safe to review

    Samples in the report are redacted — partial emails, last-four digits, masked octets — so you can verify a finding without copying sensitive data into a ticket or chat.

"A CSV built for analytics often ships customer PII by accident. Scanning it first turns an invisible liability into a one-line report."

03 · FAQ

pii scan questions.

Does my data get uploaded anywhere?
No. The scanner is 100% client-side. Your CSV is parsed and analyzed entirely in your browser using JavaScript — no file, row, or match is ever sent to a server.
Email addresses, phone numbers (10–15 digits with common separators), US Social Security numbers, credit-card numbers (13–16 digits passing a Luhn check), and IPv4 addresses. Each match is reported per column with a count.
It minimizes them. Credit cards must pass a Luhn checksum, SSNs reject invalid area/group/serial blocks, and IPs require each octet to be 0–255. Some overlap is unavoidable — for example a long numeric ID could resemble a card or phone — so always confirm findings against the redacted sample.
Yes. Samples are redacted before they appear: emails show only the first character of the local part, cards and phones show only the last four digits, SSNs show only the last four, and IPs mask the final two octets.
No. The scanner is read-only — it never alters your data. It produces a separate report CSV. To actually strip or mask PII, use the CSV Anonymizer once you know which columns are affected.
