Anonymize client data for accountants & consultants
Accounting and consulting work is full of client identifiers: names, tax numbers, IBANs, account numbers and salaries. PII Shield lets you anonymize that data locally before using AI or sharing a file, and restore it afterwards — so confidential financials never leave your computer.
Where it helps
| Task | How PII Shield helps |
|---|---|
| Using ChatGPT on a client’s numbers | Anonymize the sheet first, run the AI on placeholders, restore the values locally. |
| Sharing a working file with a contractor | Strip client identifiers before the file leaves the practice, restore on return. |
| Sending statements or reports | Redact third-party personal data before disclosure or sharing. |
| Spreadsheets & ledgers | Detect names, tax IDs, IBANs and account numbers across Excel and CSV. |
Why on-device matters
Financial identifiers are personal data under the GDPR, and client confidentiality sits on top of that. Uploading the files to a cloud tool hands that data to a third party. PII Shield keeps everything on the machine you already trust: no account, no upload, no telemetry by default. See what stays on your device on the Data & Privacy Practices page.
