## PII Scrubber Reference

[What Is PII?](https://capytoolkit.com/tools/security/pii-scrubber/reference/#what-is-pii): PII is any data that identifies an individual directly or indirectly. Learn the difference between direct and indirect PII, which frameworks apply, and how to remove it.
[What Is PHI?](https://capytoolkit.com/tools/security/pii-scrubber/reference/#what-is-phi): PHI is HIPAA-regulated health data combined with patient identifiers. Learn the 18 Safe Harbor identifiers, BAA requirements, and how to protect PHI before using AI.
[PII vs PHI: Key Differences](https://capytoolkit.com/tools/security/pii-scrubber/reference/#pii-vs-phi): PII covers any personal data under GDPR and CCPA. PHI is HIPAA-specific health data. Learn when each applies, what differs, and how the scrubber handles both.
[What Is Data Anonymization?](https://capytoolkit.com/tools/security/pii-scrubber/reference/#data-anonymization): Data anonymization permanently removes the link between data and its subject. Learn how it differs from pseudonymization, when to use it, and what techniques apply.
[What Is Data Pseudonymization?](https://capytoolkit.com/tools/security/pii-scrubber/reference/#data-pseudonymization): Pseudonymization replaces identifiers with reversible codes. Learn how GDPR defines it, how it differs from anonymization, and why the PII Scrubber uses this approach.
[What Is Data Tokenization?](https://capytoolkit.com/tools/security/pii-scrubber/reference/#data-tokenization-privacy): Data tokenization replaces sensitive values with random placeholders that reverse only with the token vault. Learn how it differs from encryption and how the PII Scrubber implements it.
