Reduce copies
Applications store a non-identifying reference instead of another complete customer profile.
Piipe Secure PII
A dedicated home for direct customer identity.
Store names, contact details, addresses and other named PII fields outside ordinary application databases. Retrieve only what an approved workflow needs, when it needs it.
The problem Piipe solves
PII spreads because applications were built to copy it.
Customer identity ends up in production databases, support tools, exports, analytics pipelines and backups. Each copy expands the breach surface and complicates access, deletion and proof.
Limit disclosure
Callers request explicit fields rather than receiving the whole identity by default.
Centralise evidence
Stores, updates, searches, retrievals and deletions share one accountable control path.
Five governed operations
Everything an application needs. Nothing it can bypass.
Secure PII exposes a small, deliberate operating surface. Every action is checked against the caller, tenant, application and purpose before data moves.
- ＋Store
Create an identity collection with arbitrary named fields.
- ✎Update
Replace fields atomically without exposing partial records.
- ⌕Find
Locate a protected identity through approved lookup material.
- ⇡Retrieve
Return only the explicitly authorised field selection.
- ×Delete
Revoke the live record and account for retention cleanup.
A deliberate data model
Put identity in Piipe. Keep business facts where they belong.
Piipe does not replace your transactional database, CRM or warehouse. It removes direct identifiers from systems that can operate on a random customer ID.
- Random customer ID
- Orders, plans and balances
- Product events and metrics
- Non-identifying workflow state
- Names and aliases
- Email, phone and address
- Government or account identifiers
- Other organisation-defined PII fields
