Handling PII data in LangChain

PII (personally identifiable information) is becoming increasingly important for companies to handle effectively due to regulations like GDPR. Managing PII data with LLMs can be challenging, especially in applications where users may spontaneously provide such information. Anonymizing the data before using it in an application is crucial to ensure privacy and security. Tools like Microsoft Presidio and OpaquePrompts facilitate PII identification and anonymization in input text by replacing them with generic equivalents. Additionally, sanitizing data for LangSmith can be achieved by not saving inputs or outputs or masking the input before sending it as input to the chain.
