Approaches

Detected-span text treatment

Apply chosen redaction, masking, or replacement operators to identified sensitive spans in text.

When to consider it

  • When text must have selected personal-information spans removed or transformed before downstream use

Considerations

  • The treatment only acts on detected or supplied spans; missed entities remain in the text. Review outputs and choose operators according to the data and use case.
