Every Greece detector in detail
Social security number (AMKA)
A social security or social insurance number. Validation: an embedded birth date and a Luhn check. A run of digits with no separator is judged by words nearby; the detector's own keywords include amka, social insurance, social security, ssn. Valid example: 01018012342; the same shape that fails is 01018012340.
IBAN
A bank account identifier. Validation: the registered length for the country and the ISO 13616 modulus 97 check. Valid example: GR16 0110 1250 0000 0001 2300 695; the same shape that fails is GR16 0110 1250 0000 0001 2300 690.
ID card number
An identity document number. Validation: the pattern only, with no checksum or structural validator. It needs one of 10 keywords within 48 characters before the value, such as document number, id card, id no, id number. Valid example: ΑΒ 123456.
Phone number
A telephone number in the national format. Validation: between 7 and 15 digits, the range an international number can have. Valid example: +30 21 0123 4567.
Postal code
A postal code, which identifies a place rather than a person on its own. Validation: the pattern only, with no checksum or structural validator. It needs one of 9 keywords within 48 characters before the value, such as post code, postal code, postcode, tk. Valid example: 105 57.

How Maskflare masks Greece identifiers
Detections are replaced with a token such as mf_mask_d7e0 before the request goes to the AI provider, and with response restoration turned on the real value is put back in the answer. The other actions are redact, partial, hash, format-preserving encryption, generalize, alert and block.
- Protect now, Finance - Protect now, Healthcare and Developer: mask (a reversible token) when Greece is a primary country.
- Monitor first: alert (counted, forwarded unchanged) when Greece is a primary country.
Compliance profiles that include the Greece pack: GDPR - EU/EEA.
Limits worth knowing
- A passing checksum shows that a value is well formed, not that it was issued to a real person. The examples on this page pass for that reason and are not real.
- 2 of the 5 detectors here match on pattern alone (ID card number and Postal code), so they can match text that merely has the same shape.
- Detectors read the text of the request. A value inside an image is found only after OCR, and a value split across lines is not one match.
- Names, addresses and free-text details are handled by other packs. This page is limited to the Greece identifiers.
