Readable stand-ins

Numbered tokens such as [PERSON_001] remain stable in a Document. Semantic aliases such as [CLIENT] can preserve useful context; aliases must be unique.

What does PiBye look for?

Local detectors look for names, organizations, street addresses, full postal and ZIP codes, email addresses, phone numbers, dates (including dates of birth), nationalities, and supported ID numbers: Canadian SIN, UCI and IRCC file numbers, US SSN, A-numbers and EIN, passport numbers, work-permit and PR-card numbers, and payment card and IBAN numbers. You can choose the default detection categories in Settings. Detection is assistive and can miss information.

Will the same person have the same stand-in?

The same source value uses a stable stand-in throughout a Document. You can edit a numbered stand-in such as [PERSON_001] to an alias such as [CLIENT]. Mappings remain independent across Documents unless you explicitly duplicate one.
