phianonymizer 0.0.2

A tool to anonymize data before sending to LLM providers, then re-identify the data after receiving the response.

PHI Anonymizer

PHI (Protected Health Information) Anonymizer is a tool designed to help you anonymize sensitive information in your text data. It uses advanced natural language processing techniques to identify and redact sensitive information such as names, addresses, and medical terms.

Usage

Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Example usage

from __init__ import anonymize_text, deanonymize_text

original_text = "Hi! My name is Bobby Smith, I was born on 01/04/1970 in New York City. My phone number is 626-433-7890 and my email is [e-mail]. You probably need my social security number too, it's 213-45-6919. So what have you learned about me?"
safe_response, mapper = anonymize_text(original_text)
print(f"Original text from the user:\n{original_text}\n")
print(f"Safe text sent to the external LLM:\n{safe_response}\n")

# Now lets send it to an external LLM that is probably not trustworthy (we'll still use the local one, but pretend it is going to OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google, etc.)
response = mapper.llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": "The assistant is an expert as assisting the user and is getting to know them better. The assistant is very friendly and helpful.",
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": f"{safe_response}",
        },
    ],
    temperature=0.4,
    max_tokens=2048,
)

llm_response = response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
print(f"LLM response:\n{llm_response}\n")
declassified_text = deanonymize_text(llm_response, mapper)
print(f"Declassified response:\n{declassified_text}")

Replace the response section with using something like your OpenAI API or other LLM provider to anonymize the text before sending it to the LLM, and then deanonymize the response after receiving it.

Example output

Original text from the user:
