# Labeling PII entities
<a name="how-pii-labels"></a>

When you run PII detection, Amazon Comprehend returns the labels of identified PII entity types. For example, if you submit the following input text to Amazon Comprehend:

*Hello Paulo Santos. The latest statement for your credit card account 1111-0000-1111-0000 was mailed to 123 Any Street, Seattle, WA 98109.*

The output includes labels that represent PII entity types along with a confidence score of the accuracy. In this case, the document text "Paul Santos", "1111-0000-1111-0000" and "123 Any Street, Seattle, WA 98109" generate the labels `NAME`, `CREDIT_DEBIT_NUMBER`, and `ADDRESS` respectively as PII entity types. For more information about supported entity types, see [PII universal entity types](how-pii.md#how-pii-types).

Amazon Comprehend provides the following information for each label:
+ The label name of the PII entity type.
+ A score that estimates the probability that the detected text is labeled as a PII entity type.

The input text example above results in the following JSON output.
