slug: "/presidiodocumentcleaner"
description: "Use `PresidioDocumentCleaner` to replace PII in Document text with entity type placeholders, powered by Microsoft Presidio."
---
# PresidioDocumentCleaner
`PresidioDocumentCleaner` replaces personally identifiable information (PII) in the text content of Documents with entity type placeholders such as `<PERSON>` or `<EMAIL_ADDRESS>`. Original Documents are not mutated. Documents without text content pass through unchanged.

## Overview
[Microsoft Presidio](https://microsoft.github.io/presidio/) is an open-source framework for PII detection and anonymization. `PresidioDocumentCleaner` uses Presidio's Analyzer and Anonymizer engines to scan document text and replace detected entities with type placeholders such as `<PERSON>` or `<EMAIL_ADDRESS>`.
This is useful when you want to store sanitized versions of your documents in a Document Store — for example, to prevent sensitive information from being indexed or returned in search results.
If you want to annotate PII without modifying the text, see [`PresidioEntityExtractor`](../extractors/presidioentityextractor.mdx). For sanitizing plain strings such as user queries, see [`PresidioTextCleaner`](./presidiotextcleaner.mdx).
## Configuration
| Parameter | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `language` | `"en"` | ISO 639-1 language code for PII detection. The appropriate spaCy model is selected automatically for [supported languages](#non-english-languages). See [Presidio supported languages](https://microsoft.github.io/presidio/analyzer/languages/). |
| `entities` | `None` | List of PII entity types to detect and anonymize (e.g. `["PERSON", "EMAIL_ADDRESS"]`). If `None`, all supported types are detected. See [supported entities](https://microsoft.github.io/presidio/supported_entities/). |
| `score_threshold` | `0.35` | Minimum confidence score (01) for a detected entity to be anonymized. |
| `models` | `None` | Advanced override: explicit list of spaCy model configs, e.g. `[{"lang_code": "fr", "model_name": "fr_core_news_md"}]`. Use this only when you need a specific model variant or a language not in the built-in mapping. If `None`, the model is selected automatically based on `language`. |
## Usage
Install the `presidio-haystack` package to use the `PresidioDocumentCleaner`.
```bash
pip install presidio-haystack
```
### On its own
```python
from haystack import Document
from haystack_integrations.components.preprocessors.presidio import (
PresidioDocumentCleaner,
)
cleaner = PresidioDocumentCleaner()
result = cleaner.run(
documents=[
Document(content="Contact Alice Smith at alice@example.com or 212-555-1234."),
],
)
print(result["documents"][0].content)
# Contact <PERSON> at <EMAIL_ADDRESS> or <PHONE_NUMBER>.
```
### In a pipeline
```python
from haystack import Document, Pipeline
from haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter
from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
from haystack_integrations.components.preprocessors.presidio import (
PresidioDocumentCleaner,
)
document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()
indexing_pipeline = Pipeline()
indexing_pipeline.add_component("cleaner", PresidioDocumentCleaner())
indexing_pipeline.add_component("writer", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))
indexing_pipeline.connect("cleaner", "writer")
indexing_pipeline.run(
{
"cleaner": {
"documents": [
Document(content="Alice Smith's email is alice@example.com"),
Document(content="Call Bob at 212-555-9876"),
],
},
},
)
```
### Using Custom Parameters
Use `entities` to limit anonymization to the PII types you actually care about. This reduces false positives and improves performance by skipping recognizers you don't need.
Use `score_threshold` to tune the precision-recall tradeoff. The default `0.35` casts a wide net and may anonymize some false positives. Raise it (e.g. `0.7`) when you need high confidence before replacing text; lower it when missing any PII is the bigger risk.
```python
from haystack_integrations.components.preprocessors.presidio import (
PresidioDocumentCleaner,
)
cleaner = PresidioDocumentCleaner(
language="de",
entities=["PERSON", "EMAIL_ADDRESS"], # only anonymize names and emails
score_threshold=0.7, # higher precision, fewer false positives
)
```
### Non-English languages
For any language in the built-in mapping, just set `language` — the right spaCy model is selected and loaded automatically at warm-up time.
```python
from haystack import Document
from haystack_integrations.components.preprocessors.presidio import (
PresidioDocumentCleaner,
)
# No `models` parameter needed — de_core_news_lg is selected automatically
cleaner = PresidioDocumentCleaner(language="de")
result = cleaner.run(
documents=[
Document(
content="Mein Name ist Hans Müller und meine E-Mail ist hans@example.com",
),
],
)
print(result["documents"][0].content)
# Mein Name ist <PERSON> und meine E-Mail ist <EMAIL_ADDRESS>
```
Supported languages and their default models are listed in `PresidioDocumentCleaner.SPACY_DEFAULT_MODELS`. Using a language not in that mapping without providing `models` raises a `ValueError` at warm-up time with a list of the supported language codes.
To use a non-default model variant, or a language outside the built-in mapping, pass `models` explicitly:
```python
cleaner = PresidioDocumentCleaner(
language="fr",
models=[{"lang_code": "fr", "model_name": "fr_core_news_md"}],
)
```
