Latest version
Version 1.1.0
Released Apr 14, 2026 - 23.26 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterv1.1.0 — Linkable PII Detection
Individual data points like a zip code or age aren't personally identifiable on their own — but combined, they can uniquely identify someone. Research by Latanya Sweeney showed that zip code + date of birth + gender identifies 87% of the US population.
This update adds detection for data combinations that create re-identification risk, aligned with NIST SP 800-122, GDPR Recital 26, and CCPA guidelines.
New detections:
- ZIP/postal codes
- Age mentions ("age 34", "34 years old")
- Gender fields ("gender: male", "sex: female")
- Street addresses
Linkability analysis:
- 2 quasi-identifiers together → warning before sending
- 3+ quasi-identifiers or a known high-risk combination (e.g. zip + DOB + gender) → send blocked until PII is removed
- Banner now shows which data points triggered the warning with the relevant compliance framework
All detection continues to run entirely in the browser. No data leaves your machine.Source code released under MIT License
