PostgreSQL Anonymizer is a PostgreSQL extension that masks or replaces PII and sensitive data directly inside the database to help enforce privacy. It uses a declarative approach where masking rules are defined in SQL DDL within the table schema, and supports six masking methods (Anonymous Dumps, Static, Dynamic, Replica Masking, Masking Views, Masking Data Wrappers) plus a suite of masking functions and detection to identify columns to anonymize. It runs on multiple Linux distributions and cloud environments and can be deployed via Docker for quick start, enabling GDPR-compliant anonymization and realistic test data without exposing production data.
