Redact API — Secure application PII using a simple API call with Pangea

Hey Developers! If you’ve built an app that either handles user-generated content or stores personally identifiable information (PII), you face the risk of exposing that data if you aren’t careful. Many apps also need to meet compliance requirements like PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA. Even logging PII in a status or error message is a common mistake. We built Pangea’s Redact API to detect and mask over 50 types of common PII with just a few lines of code and SDKs available for Python, Go, Javascript, Java, and C#. Use the standard redaction rules or create your own custom rules. Redact has a broad set of rules to recognize common data types like SSN, Driver’s License, and Credit Card, as well as advanced NLP-based rules for identifying entities like names and locations for dynamic data masking. Custom rules allow the flexibility to create, test, and deploy to meet specific business criteria from one centrally managed location. Our APIs are easy to integrate and free to start with. Go to https://pangea.cloud/ to sign up. We’ve also created a ChatGPT demo incorporating our Redact API to prevent disclosing PII to ChatGPT. Check it out https://github.com/pangeacyber/s.... We’d love to hear your feedback and ways to improve Redact.

My company, Fashmates (the world's leading fashion app), originally partnered with Pangea to protect end users through redaction of abusive language and profanity from conversations, but we are now expanding their usage into PII & sensitive data leakage, preventing things like credit card theft and credentials theft. Pangea helped us focus on delivering trust among our thriving community of over 250K stylists, with redaction implemented in the best way, being secure, scalable and with awesome performance. Thanks Pangea team!

Congratulations 🎉 the documentation is top-notch ! Redact api is a World-class service,i started to learn with the code sample. after understanding the basics,we started to build a networking platform to bridge the gap between Network technicians and customers. We won the most valuable Feedback project during the Securathon. we will continue to improve,our aim is to help companies in Bangalore to use our product,step by step we can go beyond.

I used Redact API in our GDPR implementation for several enterprise level applications. It is a simple yet safe API to redact sensitive data on your critical applications.

A simple yet powerful tool! It helped Fashmates by redacting profanity & abusive language resulting in a safe & compliant environment. And better yet, by automating the redaction process using Pangea’s Redact API, Fashmates is able to reduce costs associated with manual labor and improve operational efficiency. Thanks, Team @Pangea.

While Redact API offers a great solution for data protection, its simplicity may not allow for more complex, customizable data protection measures some businesses might require. Additionally, its effectiveness can largely depend on the quality and accuracy of its redaction algorithms. To improve, offering more detailed configuration options and ensuring rigorous, up-to-date algorithms would be beneficial. Let me know if you think the same.

The Redact API from Pangea is a remarkable tool that has greatly enhanced our data security measures. With a simple API call, we can effortlessly shield sensitive information, including PII, PHI, financial data, and profanity. The API's ease of use and minimal code requirement make it accessible to all team members, while its seamless integration ensures a smooth user experience. By prioritizing user safety and simplifying data protection, the Redact API has become an invaluable asset in our quest to maintain the highest standards of data privacy. Trust this API to secure your sensitive data and provide a seamless experience for your users.

This looks amazing. Congratulations to Pangea team!
