What is PII detection for AI?
PII detection for AI is the automated scanning of prompts and inputs to identify personally identifiable information before it reaches AI models. It catches names, emails, SSNs, phone numbers, and other personal data that should not be shared with third-party services.
Detection Capabilities
How PII detection works
Every feature designed to help your team work smarter with AI.
Pattern matching
Identify structured PII like SSNs, credit card numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses using validated pattern recognition.
Real-time scanning
Scan every prompt in real time before it leaves the browser, catching PII before it reaches any AI service.
Block or redact
Automatically block prompts containing PII, redact the PII and allow the prompt, or warn users and let them decide.
Custom PII patterns
Define organization-specific PII patterns like employee IDs, patient numbers, or account identifiers.
Detection reporting
Track all PII detections with details on type, frequency, and user for compliance auditing and trend analysis.
Regulatory alignment
Meet PII protection requirements from GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and other privacy regulations.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What types of PII does TeamPrompt detect?
TeamPrompt detects SSNs, credit card numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, API keys, AWS credentials, and other common PII and sensitive data patterns. Custom patterns can be added for organization-specific needs.
Does PII detection work across all AI tools?
Yes. TeamPrompt's DLP scanning, including PII detection, works across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, and all AI tools supported by the browser extension.
Can PII detection produce false positives?
Occasionally. Pattern-based detection may flag numbers that look like SSNs or phone numbers but are not. TeamPrompt can be configured to warn rather than block, letting users review and decide.
