Personal Information Remover

A lightweight script that stops you from accidentally sending private customer data to AI models.

It scans raw text and automatically masks:

• Email addresses
• Phone numbers
• Credit card numbers
• 30+ additional sensitive patterns (SSN, IBAN, API keys, tokens, credentials, IDs, and more)

Why use this?

If you are building with OpenAI, Anthropic, or other LLMs, you need to ensure sensitive data doesn't leave your servers. This tool acts as a simple safety filter between your users and external AI APIs.

How to use

Install:

npm install @remova/personal-information-remover

Use in code:

const { maskSensitiveInfo } = require("@remova/personal-information-remover");

const input = "Email: [email protected], Phone: +1 415-555-2671, Card: 4111 1111 1111 1111";
const output = maskSensitiveInfo(input);
console.log(output);
// Email: [EMAIL REMOVED], Phone: [PHONE REMOVED], Card: [CARD REMOVED]

Disable extended regex database:

maskSensitiveInfo("SSN 123-45-6789", { extended: false });

Use via CLI:

npx @remova/personal-information-remover --text "Contact [email protected] at +1 415-555-2671"

or

echo "Card 4242 4242 4242 4242" | npx @remova/personal-information-remover

Disable extended regex database in CLI:

npx @remova/personal-information-remover --basic --text "SSN 123-45-6789"
