Italian PII Detection and Redaction
Sanitext detects and redacts PII in Italian text, including first and last names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, dates, URLs, account numbers, and secrets. Unlike English-only tools such as AWS Comprehend's default model, it reads Italian natively across 30+ languages from one API endpoint.
Most PII tools are tuned for English. Italian names, address formats like "Via Roma 12", and phone numbers with the +39 prefix slip through or get mislabeled. Sanitext was trained on 30+ languages, so it reads Italian text the way it reads English. You send Italian text to one endpoint and get back labeled spans or redacted output, with no separate language model to configure.

Does Sanitext detect PII in Italian without extra configuration?+
Yes. You send Italian text to the same /v1/detect or /v1/redact endpoint you use for English. The model reads 30+ languages, so there is no language flag to set and no separate Italian model to deploy.
Can Sanitext detect Italian phone numbers with the +39 prefix?+
Yes. Sanitext detects Italian mobile and landline numbers with or without the +39 country code, such as +39 320 123 4567. It labels them PHONE and returns the byte offsets so you can mask or extract them.
Does Sanitext detect codice fiscale or IBAN in Italian text?+
Sanitext detects structured account and card numbers, including IBAN-style strings, under the ACCOUNT label. Codice fiscale is best caught when it appears in a clear pattern. Always review output, since Sanitext is a data-minimization aid, not a guarantee.
Is my Italian text sent to a third-party LLM?+
No. Sanitext runs an open-weights model on our own Cloudflare infrastructure. Your text never reaches an external LLM, and we store no raw text. We log only character counts and timings, which helps with EU and GDPR work.
