# PII

## **Overview**

Fastino's PII model is designed to detect and redact Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and other sensitive information from text for a range of domains and use cases. It operates in a zero-shot manner, letting users define entity types to redact, and can be fine-tuned for your specific redaction requirements. 

## **Example Use Cases**

* Automating sensitive data redaction in documents, logs, and customer support transcripts
* Ensuring compliance with privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA)
* Data sanitization for analytics or public release

## Domains

Fastino's PII model was trained for a wide range of PII redaction tasks including those described below.
