Supported Entity Types
Private AI supports over 50 different entity types, covering the GDPR, CPRA and HIPAA Safe Harbor. The complete list is shown below.
Note that an entity can have multiple types and that some entities have subtypes, such as DATE
and LOCATION
. For example, LOCATION_CITY
is a subtype of LOCATION
. In a phrase such as I live in Boston
, therefore, Boston
will be detected as both LOCATION
and LOCATION_CITY
.
Some entity types are groupings. For example, the HIPAA Safe Harbor entity types health plan beneficiary number and medical record number are both recognized as HEALTHCARE_NUMBER
. Similarly, NUMERICAL_PII
covers a broad range of entity types such as MAC addresses and cookie IDs.
In addition to the entity types listed below, our pro tier offers custom entity types.
