personal-data

Default severity: warning

What it checks

Messages ship to every user, so they must not contain real email addresses, phone numbers, IBANs, card numbers, API keys or IP addresses. Data in the source is a warning; data a translation adds that the source does not have is an error, since it usually comes from a translator's or model's memory. Reserved example domains (example.com, .test) are ignored; use the `allow` option for intended contacts.

Example

An email address that the translation added. Config used for both runs:

{
  "sourceLocale": "en",
  "files": [
    {
      "format": "next-intl-json",
      "path": "messages/{locale}.json"
    }
  ]
}

{
  "help": "Questions? Write to us any time."
}

{
  "help": "Des questions ? Écrivez à flagged by personal-data: marie.dupont@gmail.com."
}

{
  "help": "Questions? Write to us any time."
}

{
  "help": "Des questions ? Écrivez-nous quand vous voulez."
}

Change its severity

{
  "checks": {
    "personal-data": "error"
  }
}

Use "off" to disable it. To hide one finding, add "suppress": ["personal-data:help"]; a suppress rule that stops matching is reported so it can be removed.
