Pseudo
Pseudo is a tiny library that gives you helper functions for GDPR compliance.
Installation
The Elixir drop can be installed by adding pseudo
to your list of dependencies in mix.exs
:
def deps do
[
{:pseudo, "~> 0.2.3"}
]
end
Usage
You can call the conceal/1
function on any string to pseudonymize the text for
GDPR compliance. For example:
email = "morty@yahoo.com"
Pseudo.conceal(email)
=> "m*******@y*****.com"
Or for concealing names of persons.
name = "Rick Sanchez"
Pseudo.conceal(name)
=> "R***********"
You can also pass formatting options. By default, the anonymized result is 7 and 5 asterisks, by using %{format: :anonymous}
.
By passing in any other kind of format, you can replace each character in email.
email = "morty@yahoo.com"
Pseudo.conceal(email, %{format: :each_char})
=> "m****@y****.com"
