QWED v2.2.0 introduces automatic PII (Personally Identifiable Information) masking - protecting sensitive data before it reaches LLM providers.

🎉 What's New

PII Masking (Enterprise Privacy Feature)
Automatically detect and mask 9 types of PII before sending to LLM providers:

✅ Email addresses
✅ Credit card numbers
✅ Phone numbers
✅ US SSN
✅ IBAN codes
✅ IP addresses
✅ Person names
✅ Locations
✅ Medical licenses
Your data stays private. The LLM never sees the actual sensitive information.

Perfect for:

  • Healthcare - HIPAA compliance
  • Finance - PCI-DSS compliance
  • Enterprise - GDPR compliance
  • Legal - Attorney-client privilege
  • Any privacy-sensitive application

### 🚀 Quick Start
Installation

# Standard installation
pip install qwed
# With PII masking support
pip install 'qwed[pii]'
python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg

Usage
Python API:

from qwed_sdk import QWEDLocal
client = QWEDLocal(provider="openai", mask_pii=True)
result = client.verify("My email is john@example.com")
# LLM sees: "My email is <EMAIL_ADDRESS>"

CLI:

qwed verify "Email: user@example.com" --mask-pii
qwed pii "Test: 123-45-6789"  # Test detection
