Show HN: I created a tool to remove protected information in CSVs (remove-pii.com)

Hey all, in my line of work, I've needed to share sensitive information with third parties, but de-identify the individuals while keeping other information intact (e.g. prices).

Behind the scenes this site uses the File API to stream the CSV all in-browser with no server side processing. It then runs all transformations using faker. There are over 100 different data types e.g. First Name, UUID, Address, Phone Number.

If you need an example CSV to use, here is a small example.

Would this work on a .sql dump?


I am working on adding that on actually, its a bit more complicated due to SQL files being able to contain multiple tables, but I believe it will work.
