Limina supports scanning TXT files for PII and creating de-identified or redacted copies. Limina’s supported entity types function across each file type, with localized variants of different PII (Personally Identifiable Information) entities, PHI (Protected Health Information) entities, and PCI (Payment Card Industry) entities being detected. Our Supported Languages and Supported Entity Types page provides a more detailed look.

How TXT Files Are Processed

TXT files are processed by simply reading in the contents of the TXT files verbatim and passing it through Limina’s text module. The resulting file will contain the labelled and redacted version of contents of the original.

​
