    Version 1.1.0

    Released Apr 14, 2026 - 23.26 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    v1.1.0 — 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.
