01 / Parse

Know the shape of the data.

Detect delimiters, validate structured text, and surface useful error locations.

02 / Review

Spot quality and privacy risks.

Measure completeness, duplicates, mixed values, and likely identifiers before sharing.

03 / Prepare

Clean a working copy locally.

Trim, deduplicate, mask, infer a schema, and export without changing the original file.

Practical guide

A privacy tripwire, not a compliance certificate

The scanner combines column-name hints with recognizable value patterns. It is designed to catch obvious mistakes before a dataset is pasted into another tool, but it cannot understand every identifier, jurisdiction, or re-identification risk.

  • 01Review every column flagged by name or sampled values.
  • 02Confirm false positives before masking or deleting data.
  • 03Mask common identifiers while preserving useful shape.
  • 04Perform a formal privacy review for consequential workflows.
Is this a HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI compliance scanner?

No. It is a local heuristic check for common patterns, not a certification, legal determination, or substitute for an organization-specific compliance process.

Does Parse The Data upload my files?

No. Parsing, profiling, cleanup, and export run inside your browser tab. The application does not send dataset contents to our server or any third party.

What file types are supported?

The first release supports CSV, TSV, JSON, and JSON Lines (JSONL or NDJSON), including pasted text and local files.

Can it detect every privacy risk?

No. The privacy scan uses deterministic patterns and column-name hints. It can find common emails, phone numbers, IP addresses, SSNs, and payment-card patterns, but it is not a substitute for a formal privacy review.

Designed for restraint

The server delivers the tool. It never receives the dataset.

Parsing runs in a separate browser thread. There are no accounts, upload endpoints, third-party scripts, advertising trackers, or cloud storage in the analysis path.

Use the PII scan as an early warning—not as legal advice or a compliance certification.
