Privacy Exposure Checker | Find phone numbers, emails, and long number strings before sharing
Scan messages, notices, support notes, and document drafts for phone numbers, emails, ID-like patterns, card/account-style number strings, links, and messenger prompts, then review a masked version before sharing.
Paste text to scan for phone numbers, emails, ID-like numbers, card/account-style strings, and link or messenger prompts.
Pattern checks are useful for a first pass, but names, addresses, internal codes, and context-sensitive details still need human review. Input stays in your browser and is limited to 20,000 characters.
Why use a privacy exposure checker?
When you copy and paste drafts between chat, email, notices, and documents, sensitive data can stay in the text longer than you expect. Phone numbers, emails, ID-like numbers, card-number-like strings, and account-style numbers are the kinds of details that are painful to leak by accident.
This tool helps you run a quick final check before sharing. Paste text, review detected patterns, and copy a masked version if needed.
Especially useful for
1) Checking notices before sending
Review contact details, links, and number strings before sending announcements or customer-facing messages.
2) De-identifying shared notes
Mask direct identifiers before sharing meeting notes, consultation records, or draft reports.
3) Final review after cleanup
Even after editing, long number strings and contact details are easy to miss. This gives you one more practical pass.
How it works
- Paste your text.
- The tool scans for phone numbers, emails, ID-like patterns, card-number-like strings, account-style sequences, and link/ID prompts.
- It groups what it found by type.
- You can choose which kinds of data to mask.
- Copy the masked result for safer sharing.
What it checks and what it cannot know
The checker looks for phone numbers, email addresses, ID-like numbers, business-ID-like numbers, long card-like digit strings, account-style digit groups, URLs, and messenger or external-chat prompts. If you turn off a masking option, the item is still detected, but the output keeps that part unchanged so you can separate public contact details from private ones.
Pattern checks are only a first pass. Names, addresses, internal project codes, order numbers, and context-sensitive details may still be private even when they do not match a fixed pattern, so read the final draft once before sending.
Example workflow
Paste a support note that includes a customer email, phone number, deposit account, and form link. Review the detected items, keep public links if needed, mask private contact details, and copy the safer draft for your team or an external recipient.

Summary
The Privacy Exposure Checker is a checker-style tool that helps you spot and mask sensitive-looking text patterns before you share a draft. It is most useful as a last safety pass right before external sending or document sharing.
