Welcome to the CSV-Anonymizer wiki

Introduction

A common problematic encountered by Data Scientists is to have data containing personally identifiable information (PII) such as email addresses, customer IDs or phone numbers. A simple solution is to remove these fields before sharing the data. However, analysis may rely on having the PII data. For example, in e-Commerce context, customer IDs are necessary to know how many customers bought which product. Instead of removing PII data, you can anonymize the PII by using hashing technique.

CSV Anonymizer provides capacity to anonymize all or part of your data using various hash functions.
