What this tool does
This tool identifies possible personal-data patterns and produces a review report with sheet, cell, type, and a masked preview.
Regular expressions and header keywords flag candidates locally; matches are suggestions for human review, not automatic deletions.
Pattern matching can produce false positives and cannot recognize every kind of personal information.
Supported formats
XLSX, XLS, CSV, and TSV are supported. The output report can be downloaded as XLSX, CSV, TSV, or JSON.
| Format | Support |
|---|---|
| XLSX / XLS | Browser parsing; advanced Excel features may not be preserved |
| CSV / TSV | Delimited values with local parsing |
Tips for better results
- Review candidates in context before editing the source file.
- Scan hidden or auxiliary sheets separately if needed.
- Use masking and access controls in addition to pattern checks.
FAQ
What personal data can this spreadsheet scanner find?
It flags likely emails, phone numbers, ID-like number strings, and columns with sensitive header keywords.
Does the tool remove personal information automatically?
No. It creates a candidate report so a person can decide what should be corrected, masked, or retained.
Are detected values shown in full in the report?
No. Candidate previews are masked to reduce unnecessary exposure while preserving enough context for review.
Can the scan produce false positives?
Yes. Order numbers and other business identifiers can resemble phone or ID patterns, so every result needs review.
Is spreadsheet content uploaded for the privacy scan?
No. The scan and report generation run locally in your browser.
