Academic Workflows: Protecting Research Participant PII

Academic & Research: Ensure FERPA compliance when using AI for student records or clinical trials. Redact participant PII natively in the browser.

Academic Workflows: Protecting Research Participant PII

University researchers, professors, and lab directors use AI to analyze research interview transcripts, format clinical trial data, and review student evaluations. PrivacyScrubber's Academic Extension enforces FERPA and Institutional Review Board (IRB) privacy standards by anonymizing student and participant PII locally within the browser.

FERPA & IRB Human Participant De-Identification

Purges student names, student IDs, participant interview identities, and geographic survey locations in <2ms local browser memory.

● IN-PAGE SANDBOXED INTERCEPTION Intersects DOM input before network transmission. Evaluates regex in <2ms browser RAM.
● MULTI-LINE ENTITY RECONSTRUCTION Automatically re-assembles entities split across linebreaks before tokenization.
● REVERSIBLE TOKEN MAP Substitutes raw PII with reversible tokens ([NAME_1], [ID_1]) for instant 1-click restore.
● ADMIN BLUEPRINT LOCK Enterprise policies deploy with [ENTERPRISE LOCKED] badge — tamper-proof for staff.

Native Academic Sandbox for Research Integrity

Pasting qualitative research interviews or student grade disputes into commercial AI models violates IRB protocols and FERPA regulations. PrivacyScrubber's sandboxed browser extension intercepts research text in real-time, substituting participant names with [PARTICIPANT_1] and location details with [LOCATION_1], enabling researchers to utilize AI for coding and theme discovery with zero participant risk.

Qualitative Research Interview Analysis

  1. 1
    Copy or Paste Unsanitized Content: Researcher pastes 10 qualitative interview transcripts containing participant names, workplace locations, and personal anecdotes.
  2. 2
    Real-Time In-Browser Sanitization: The extension detects participant names and geographic indicators, replacing them with reversible tokens in local RAM.
  3. 3
    Submit to LLM with Zero Cloud Exposure: Researcher prompts ChatGPT: "Identify recurring thematic patterns regarding workplace stress across [PARTICIPANT_1] through [PARTICIPANT_10]".
  4. 4
    Instant Local Reversal (Contextual Reveal): Researcher uses 1-click in-page reveal to map thematic findings back to real participant codebooks stored securely on university servers.

FERPA (34 CFR Part 99) & IRB Ethics Compliance

Federal law strictly regulates the disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information from student education records without consent. Edge sanitization ensures student records never touch cloud training servers, matching our AI Privacy Guides framework.

Offline Document Parsing for Research Grants

Drop scanned survey forms and grant proposal drafts into the offline WASM OCR engine to extract and redact text without uploading unreleased academic discoveries to third-party servers, following PII protection basics and Zero-Trust AI frameworks.

IRB-Ready Compliance Verification

Generate audit receipts for university ethics boards proving that research prompt submissions contained zero raw human participant data, fulfilling GDPR/CCPA standards requirements.

Latest Capabilities: Multi-Line Stitching & Local OCR

The PrivacyScrubber Chrome Extension features a smart Multi-Line Context-Aware Name Detection to capture names split across lines (e.g. Firstname MiddleInitial Surname) in scanned medical/clinical records, NDAs, and PDFs. It also supports Local Wasm OCR & PDF Sanitization to redact text from screenshots/PDFs offline, and Zero-Trust Session Sync (Argon2id + XChaCha20-Poly1305) to share rules peer-to-peer securely.
