Are these tools able to automatically identify PII information or do you have to specify columns and data types manually? What happens if you have PII data in a string field? Do you just rely on something like spacy to identify the PII data?

From the website:

> The project has a declarative approach of anonymization.

> Finally, the extension offers a panel of detection functions that will try to guess which columns need to be anonymized.
