What this tool does
The scanner creates an XLSX review report listing potential privacy-sensitive cells and workbook features. It identifies candidates without deleting or changing the source file.
Workbook structure + cell patterns → categorized findings → review report
Pattern matches are review candidates, not proof that a value is personal or confidential.
Supported formats
Files are processed locally. XLSX and XLS workbooks are read with SheetJS; CSV and TSV files are parsed with delimiter-aware handling. Advanced Excel features may not be preserved in generated files.
| Format | Support |
|---|---|
| XLSX / XLS | Read workbook values and formulas |
| CSV / TSV | Read delimited rows |
| Output | New downloadable file or report |
Tips for better results
- Work from a backup when the source workbook is important.
- Keep identifiers such as ZIP codes and account codes stored as text.
- Review the bounded preview and downloaded result before replacing any business workflow.
FAQ
Does the privacy scan upload cell values anywhere?
No. Parsing and pattern checks run locally in your browser, and only the report you download leaves the page.
Can the report prove that a value is personal data?
No. It flags likely patterns for human review and may include false positives or miss context-dependent information.
Does it remove sensitive information automatically?
No. The source workbook is never edited; the output identifies cells you may want to inspect.
Are hidden worksheets included in the review?
Yes. Hidden and very hidden worksheet states are recorded as workbook-level findings when available.
Can it detect every kind of confidential information?
No. It checks several common patterns and workbook features, but business-specific secrets require a separate review.
