The Core of Zero-Trust AI: Intelligent Privacy Scanning
When feeding documents into AI models like ChatGPT or Claude, manual scrubbing is dangerous. The human eye easily misses a phone number or a hidden ID deep inside a 50-page contract. One missed character can result in a data breach.
The Smart Privacy Scanner eliminates human error by automating protection at the source: your browser. PrivacyScrubber scans text instantly to isolate and protect sensitive data before it ever touches an external network.
⚙️ How to Scrub Data Safely
- Paste Raw Data: Go to the PrivacyScrubber App and paste your text into the input box.
- Select Protection Level: Toggle specific data types visually in the configuration panel.
- Instant Scan: The browser immediately identifies and protects the text. You will see tokens like
[NAME_1]in the preview. - Safe Copy: Click "Copy Protected Text." Your data is now 100% safe for ChatGPT or Claude.
