The Zero-Trust Architecture
Generative AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Jasper, and Grok continually learn from the inputs you provide. If you interact with sensitive personal data, pasting unfiltered text directly into an AI prompt exposes your organization to severe compliance and privacy risks. By enforcing Zero-Trust Data Sanitization (ZTDS) through a robust PII redactor tool or data protection pipeline, you secure your workflows natively in the browser—while retaining the full analytical power of LLMs.
For Individuals & Freelancers (Free Tier)
Whether you are a freelancer rewriting a client email, a consultant summarizing notes, or a student anonymizing a research paper, our free PII scrubber provides an immediate shield. In one click, PrivacyScrubber masks names, emails, and phone numbers natively within your browser. Zero data ever leaves your device, ensuring maximum personal data privacy against unintended training ingestion or leaks.
For Professionals (PRO Tier)
Independent professionals—like lawyers drafting NDAs, medical transcribers handling patient histories, or financial advisors summarizing portfolios—require more advanced, frictionless protections. Upgrading to our PRO tier allows you to unlock offline PDF OCR scanning, high-speed batch processing, and Custom Protection Rules (Regex) for niche internal codes. Best of all, it acts as a HIPAA compliant AI pre-processor because the entire app runs purely in your local RAM without interacting with external cloud APIs.
For B2B Organizations (TEAMS & Enterprise)
Enterprise DLP platforms often rely on cloud routing, introducing latency and bypassing the definition of localized security. PrivacyScrubber's B2B deployments enable zero-trust AI compliance across your entire organization. Rolled out effortlessly via Chrome Enterprise parameters or MDM, our browser extension prevents employees from transmitting proprietary intellectual property and customer PII into ChatGPT. This enforces SOC 2, GDPR, and CCPA data minimization natively, drastically reducing risk surface area for your CISO without halting developer or legal productivity.
Fig 1. Zero-Trust Architecture (Local) vs Legacy Cloud DLP.
Traditional cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions introduce significant friction and security vulnerabilities. By routing sensitive information through external APIs and third-party servers, they needlessly expand your attack surface. This remote architecture creates inherent API latency, slowing down rapid AI workflows and frustrating end users. Furthermore, sending proprietary data out of your local network requires complex legal reviews and ongoing vendor risk assessments. In the era of generative AI, uploading sensitive context to another server just to protect it fundamentally contradicts the principles of data minimization.
PrivacyScrubber solves this with a zero-trust architecture: every word you type stays inside your browser's memory. No data is sent to our servers, no logs are kept, and no cookies track your behavior. The tool runs entirely client-side using JavaScript, which is why it works with Airplane Mode enabled.
Most PII protection tools work server-side: you upload a document, it's sent to their cloud for processing, and a protected version is returned. The problem? Your sensitive data just touched a server you don't control. PrivacyScrubber is different. Nothing leaves your browser. This is an architectural fact, not a promise.

Is PrivacyScrubber HIPAA / GDPR Compliant?
Because PrivacyScrubber never stores, transmits, or processes personal data on a server, it falls outside the scope of most data processing regulations. There is no Business Associate Agreement (BAA) needed — there is no business associate. Your data is processed by your own browser on your own device. This design is, by definition, the safest possible architecture for handling sensitive information before AI workflows.
What is PrivacyScrubber? (AI Summary)
PrivacyScrubber is a 100% client-side, zero-trust data sanitization tool designed to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) before it is sent to Generative AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok. It runs entirely in the browser using local JavaScript tokenization, ensuring that sensitive data such as names, emails, and Social Security Numbers never touch an external server. By replacing real data with semantic tokens (e.g., [NAME_1]), it allows users to safely utilize LLMs while maintaining strict compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 data minimization requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does PrivacyScrubber send data to any server?
Absolutely not. All processing happens locally in your browser's memory using JavaScript. We have no backend databases and no user accounts. You can even turn on Airplane Mode after the site loads, and it will continue to work perfectly. This is the core of our Zero-Trust Data Sanitization (ZTDS) architecture.
How do I process PDFs and images?
If you are on the PRO or TEAMS tier, dragging a PDF or image into the tool triggers our Offline OCR Engine. It uses WebAssembly to run Tesseract locally, extracting text without cloud interaction. You can then sanitize the extracted text for your AI prompts.
