Kosovo PII detection: numri personal, IBAN
Short answer
Maskflare's Kosovo pack has 4 detectors. 1 validates a check digit or letter, 1 tests layout or an embedded date, 2 match on pattern alone.
What the Kosovo pack covers
The Kosovo pack holds 4 detectors: IBAN, Personal number (numri personal), Phone number and Postal code. 1 of them recomputes a check digit or letter, 1 tests layout or an embedded date only, 2 are pattern-only, and 1 waits for a keyword before it matches.

Every Kosovo detector in detail
IBAN
A bank account identifier. Validation: the registered length for the country and the ISO 13616 modulus 97 check. Valid example: XK05 1212 0123 4567 8906; the same shape that fails is XK05 1212 0123 4567 8900.
Personal number (numri personal)
A national identity number. Validation: the pattern only, with no checksum or structural validator. It needs one of 18 keywords within 48 characters before the value, such as jmbg, leternjoftim, leternjoftimi, letërnjoftim. Valid example: 1234567890.
Phone number
A telephone number in the national format. Validation: between 7 and 15 digits, the range an international number can have. A run of digits with no separator is judged by words nearby; the detector's own keywords include broj telefona, call me, cel, cel.. Valid example: 049/987-654.
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. Valid example: 10000.

How Maskflare masks Kosovo 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 Kosovo is a primary country.
- Monitor first: alert (counted, forwarded unchanged) when Kosovo is a primary country.
Compliance profiles that include the Kosovo 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 4 detectors here match on pattern alone (Personal number (numri personal) 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 Kosovo identifiers.
