ScreenMask: Auto Redact Sensitive Data (PII)

ScreenMask is an innovative browser extension designed to safeguard your privacy by automatically detecting and masking sensitive data, often referred to as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), on any website you visit. Whether you are sharing your screen, recording tutorials, or working with data-sensitive web applications, ScreenMask operates in real time to conceal emails, phone numbers, credit card details, government IDs, and more. Its seamless integration and customizable settings ensure you are never at risk of unintentionally exposing personal information while browsing or sharing online content.

At the heart of ScreenMask lies an advanced pattern recognition engine that supports a comprehensive array of PII formats, covering both global and region-specific patterns. By default, the extension detects common PII types like email addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers (SSNs), credit card numbers verified through Luhn validation, and country-specific identifiers such as Aadhaar and PAN from India. For users seeking enhanced protection, ScreenMask offers a Pro upgrade that unlocks more extensive data detection and masking, including unique regional and custom ID formats.

The user interface of ScreenMask is designed for simplicity and efficiency. Through its intuitive popup panel, users can effortlessly enable or disable masking, select between different mask methods—such as applying a CSS-based blur or replacing text with asterisks—and activate or deactivate specific PII categories to tailor protection according to their needs. Users can also add custom pattern rules, allowing the extension to adapt to specialized workflows or organizational data formats. The Pro license feature permits instant access to premium masking functions via an easy in-app license key entry.

Unlike conventional privacy tools that only alert users about sensitive data, ScreenMask takes proactive steps by actively masking the data within the page content itself. This approach guarantees that no personal information can be accidentally revealed in screenshots, video recordings, or remote presentations. The extension is optimized to be lightweight and fast so it can seamlessly blend into your browsing experience while providing robust privacy protection behind the scenes.
