For accountants & consultants

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.

In short. Open a ledger, statement or client letter in PII Shield. It detects the personal and financial identifiers on your computer, lets you redact them, and keeps a local mapping so you can restore the real figures. Nothing is uploaded.

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.
