Does PrivacyScrubber send my data to any server?

No. Zero bytes of your input are ever transmitted to any external server. The entire PII detection engine runs inside your browser's JavaScript runtime using local RAM. You can verify this by opening Chrome DevTools → Network tab and clicking "Protect PII" — you will see zero outbound requests.

What happens to the session map when I close the browser?

The session map is stored exclusively in volatile browser RAM. The moment you close the tab, reload the page, or navigate away, the entire mapping — including all original PII values — is permanently destroyed.

Do I need a HIPAA BAA or GDPR DPA with PrivacyScrubber?

No. Because PrivacyScrubber never acts as a data processor (your data never reaches our infrastructure), we are architecturally exempt from BAA and DPA requirements. Your browser processes everything locally.

What is the difference between the Free and PRO tiers?

The Free tier supports text paste and single .txt/.docx file upload. The PRO plan ($110 lifetime) adds offline PDF/OCR scanning, batch file processing, and Custom Regex Rules for internal domain-specific codes.

How does the TEAMS encrypted session sharing work?

PrivacyScrubber generates an AES-GCM encrypted link locally. Your colleague can paste the AI's response and use your shared, encrypted key to safely 'reveal' the original data on their machine — no database or server involved.

[CISO_OPS]

Security Lead

"PrivacyScrubber eliminates Shadow AI risk by intercepting PII at the edge. We've mapped this hub to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 masking controls."

[DPO_LEGAL]

Legal Counsel

"Under GDPR Article 32 and HIPAA Safe Harbor, local anonymization removes the AI provider from the 'Data Processor' chain, negating complex DPA liabilities."

[BIZ_VAL]

Financial Audit

"A single GLBA or PCI-DSS violation costs 100x more than a site-wide license. We provide verifiable ROI through data loss prevention at the prompt level."

The Creative AI Privacy Gap

Data Persistence

Raw sensitive inputs are often stored by AI vendors for model training.

Compliance Liability

Uploading unredacted PII violates industry-specific global privacy mandates.

Shadow AI Risk

Employees using unvetted AI tools create invisible data leakage vectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about deploying zero-trust AI for Creative Teams.

Will AI models train on my screenplay?

Not with PrivacyScrubber. Since your core IP identifiers are tokenized, LLMs like ChatGPT never ingest the actual proprietary names.

Does this store any data on your servers?

No. PrivacyScrubber is a 100% client-side application. Your data never leaves your browser memory and is never transmitted over the internet.

How does the 'Airplane Mode' verification work?

You can load the application, physically disconnect from the internet or enable Airplane Mode on your device, and the entire AI sanitization process will continue to work perfectly. This acts as physical proof of our zero-trust architecture.

Can I use this with custom internal identifiers?

Yes, the PRO and TEAMS editions include the Custom Regex Engine, allowing you to define organization-specific patterns like proprietary project codes or internal ID formats for automatic redaction.
