When we share customer data with 3rd-parties, it is important that we redact any information that might uniquely identify the customer. According to our Terms of Service, we do not resell customer information, so it is imperative that any personally identifiable information (PII) is removed.

Instructions

Given a piece of content, such as:

  • Steve emailed me at my personal address: mary@yahoo.com.

  • I work at Boeing and commute every day from Seattle.

We should transform these into:

  • {{ name }} emailed me at my personal address: {{ email }}.

  • I work at {{ employer }} and commute every day from {{ city }}.

When you redact entities from a piece of text, you should also include the list of entities that were redacted, like:

Guidance

Redact any kind of PII you detect. Some non-exhaustive examples of things to redact include:

  • name (e.g. Steve)

  • phone (e.g. (123) 456-7890)

  • city (e.g. Seattle)

  • ssn (e.g. 831-12-4912)
