### Description The feature for anonymizing data has been implemented. In order to protect private data, such as when querying external APIs (OpenAI), it is worth pseudonymizing sensitive data to maintain full privacy. Anonynization consists of two steps: 1. **Identification:** Identify all data fields that contain personally identifiable information (PII). 2. **Replacement**: Replace all PIIs with pseudo values or codes that do not reveal any personal information about the individual but can be used for reference. We're not using regular encryption, because the language model won't be able to understand the meaning or context of the encrypted data. We use *Microsoft Presidio* together with *Faker* framework for anonymization purposes because of the wide range of functionalities they provide. The full implementation is available in `PresidioAnonymizer`. ### Future works - **deanonymization** - add the ability to reverse anonymization. For example, the workflow could look like this: `anonymize -> LLMChain -> deanonymize`. By doing this, we will retain anonymity in requests to, for example, OpenAI, and then be able restore the original data. - **instance anonymization** - at this point, each occurrence of PII is treated as a separate entity and separately anonymized. Therefore, two occurrences of the name John Doe in the text will be changed to two different names. It is therefore worth introducing support for full instance detection, so that repeated occurrences are treated as a single object. ### Twitter handle @deepsense_ai / @MaksOpp --------- Co-authored-by: MaksOpp <maks.operlejn@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Bagatur <baskaryan@gmail.com>
