Questions

Does it find names and addresses?

No - names and street addresses have no fixed pattern, so they cannot be found reliably without sending the text to an AI service. Read the result once and hide those by hand.

Why was a number not hidden?

Card numbers must pass the Luhn check, and phone numbers need 10-13 digits. This avoids hiding prices, dates and order numbers by mistake.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The whole point is privacy: the matching runs in your browser and nothing is stored.

Is it free?

Yes - free and unlimited, with no sign-up and no watermark.
