Does PrivacyScrubber send my data to any server?

No. Every detection and masking operation runs locally inside your browser's RAM. Zero bytes of your text, documents, or session tokens leave your device. Verify this yourself: open DevTools → Network tab, or disconnect from the internet entirely — the tool keeps working offline.

Which AI platforms does the browser extension support?

The Chrome extension injects real-time PII masking directly inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot (Bing Chat), Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and Zendesk. For any other AI tool (including self-hosted models like Llama or Mistral), use the web app at privacyscrubber.com to sanitize text before pasting it into any interface.

What does the free version include?

The free tier includes the General PII profile (names, emails, phones, SSNs, EINs, addresses, corporate entity names), text scrubbing up to 15,000 characters, single-file upload (.txt, .docx), PDF text extraction up to 3 pages, and the full Reveal (reverse-scrub) workflow. PRO unlocks 22+ industry detection profiles, batch file processing, unlimited custom regex rules, offline OCR for scanned images, unlimited PDF pages, and downloadable redacted PDFs.

Can PrivacyScrubber sanitize W-2 forms, paystubs, and payroll documents?

Yes. The core engine natively detects Employer Identification Numbers (EIN/FEIN), payroll-format names (LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME), corporate employer names with legal suffixes (Inc, LLC, Corp, etc.), and full US street addresses with city/state/ZIP codes. All wage amounts, tax withholdings, hourly rates, and financial figures are preserved untouched — exactly what income verification and loan underwriting workflows require.

Can I get my original data back after the AI responds?

Yes. Paste the AI's response back into the tool and click Reveal. The engine swaps every token ([NAME_1], [EMAIL_2], etc.) back to the original value using your local session map — no server round-trip, no data stored anywhere.

Does this help with HIPAA, GDPR, or SOC 2 compliance?

PrivacyScrubber is designed to support de-identification under HIPAA Safe Harbor (45 CFR §164.514), GDPR Article 25/32 data minimization, and SOC 2 CC6-series logical access controls by stripping identifiers before data reaches any third-party AI tool. It is a technical control layer, not a substitute for a complete compliance program — consult your GRC team on whether it fully satisfies your specific regulatory obligations.

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

The session map exists exclusively in volatile browser RAM and is strictly isolated per tab. The moment you close the tab, reload the page, or navigate away, the entire mapping — including all original PII values and encryption keys — is permanently destroyed. There is no localStorage, no cookies, no IndexedDB persistence of session data.

What file formats can I sanitize, and what do I get back?

Supported input formats: .txt, .docx, .pdf (text-layer and scanned/OCR), .xlsx, .csv, and images (PNG, JPG, TIFF via on-device Tesseract OCR). With PRO, you can download the output as a fully redacted PDF with black-box overlays covering detected PII while preserving the original document layout, or copy the sanitized text stream to your clipboard.

How does TEAMS encrypted session handoff work?

TEAMS session handoff uses Argon2id key derivation and XChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption (via libsodium WASM). The entire session map is encrypted locally in your browser, producing a shareable link. Your colleague opens the link, enters the shared passphrase, and decrypts the token map entirely on their machine — no server, no database, no intermediary ever touches the payload.

How does Shadow DOM sandboxing protect against malicious scripts?

PrivacyScrubber wraps both the editor input and the highlighted token output inside closed Shadow DOM roots. This makes unredacted text completely inaccessible to third-party scripts, other browser extensions, or DOM-scraping attacks running on the host page — creating a hardened isolation boundary around your sensitive data.

Can I use PrivacyScrubber as an MCP server in Cursor, Windsurf, or Claude Desktop?

Yes. The official @privacyscrubber/mcp-server package runs as a local stdio-based Model Context Protocol server. It intercepts prompts, sanitizes PII and developer secrets (API keys, tokens, connection strings) in volatile RAM, and passes clean text to the LLM. Install via npx @anthropic-ai/create-mcp '"@privacyscrubber/mcp-server"' or add it to your mcp_config.json manually.

Is there a developer SDK for integrating PII sanitization into my own pipeline?

Yes. The @privacyscrubber/sdk NPM package exposes the same detection engine used by the web app and extension as a programmatic Node.js API. Call scrubText() to sanitize, unscrubText() to rehydrate, and detectMatches() to inspect matches — all running in-process with zero network calls. Ideal for CI/CD pipelines, backend pre-processing, or custom LLM orchestration.

Does changing the detection profile reset my session?

No. Switching profiles (e.g., from General PII to Medical or Finance) does not clear your active session or token maps. Tokens generated under the previous profile remain fully restorable via Reveal. To wipe all session data, encryption keys, and token maps, click the Clear button explicitly.

How does PrivacyScrubber prevent data residue in system RAM?

After processing documents (DOCX, PDF, XLSX), the engine overwrites all temporary ArrayBuffer parsing buffers at the byte level using Uint8Array.fill(0) before releasing them to garbage collection. This prevents residual PII fragments from persisting in browser memory after sanitization completes.

Can enterprise or accounting teams pay via invoice or wire transfer?

Yes. If your procurement department requires formal invoicing, purchase orders (PO), or bank wire transfers (SWIFT/SEPA), we issue manual invoices with tax reverse-charge support for EU VAT. Contact support@privacyscrubber.com or use the Enterprise contact form to request a quote.

Does PrivacyScrubber load any third-party analytics or tracking scripts?

No. The site loads zero third-party analytics trackers, cookies, or review widgets. Adding external scripts would require relaxing the Content Security Policy and could allow third-party servers to inspect page state. Customer reviews are displayed as static content or linked to external platforms (Chrome Web Store, G2) with no embedded tracking.

How are TEAMS admin roles managed without a backend?

There are no server-side accounts. Team leads configure compliance profiles, custom regex rules, and the organization name locally, then lock the configuration and export a cryptographic Team Blueprint URL. When team members open this link, their local instance activates the TEAMS license, imports the locked configuration, and disables editing — enforcing organization-wide compliance rules without any backend database.

What is the difference between Custom Regex Rules and Token Labels?

Custom Regex Rules are a pattern discovery engine — they find new identifiers (internal ticket numbers, project codes like PROJ-1234, proprietary account formats) that the default engine does not cover. Token Labels, in contrast, rename the replacement placeholders for already-detected entities. For example, mapping NAME → PATIENT or ID → CASE_NUMBER gives the LLM domain-accurate semantic context without writing any regex.

What Payment and Security Engineers Send to AI — and What They Should Be Sending Instead

Achieving enterprise data protection for PCI DSS and ChatGPT is a foundational requirement for AI adoption. As organizations integrate Payment gateways and AI-powered support desks, the liability of unmanaged PII exfiltration to public LLM datasets represents a critical risk to pci standing. Our pci AI privacy guides provide the technical roadmap for maintaining the pci perimeter while leveraging GenAI. The core vulnerability: immediate loss of merchant status due to cardholder data entering AI prompt logs.

Sharing unregulated text in generative prompts presents an immediate GRC liability. Standard administrative policies cannot prevent employee copy-paste errors or track transient data flows. For finance teams, e-commerce developers, and billing administrators, relying on cloud-based filters means exposing client context to external servers. Prevent PCI DSS violations when using AI tools like ChatGPT. Learn how to mask PANs, CVVs, and cardholder data locally before AI submission to maintain compliance. Includes Flat-rate TEAMS pricing and Zero-server architecture.

Privacy Insight: PCI DSS Requirement 3.3 prohibits storing sensitive authentication data after authorization, including full PANs except when specifically allowed. Pasting cardholder data into ChatGPT is equivalent to transmitting a PAN to an unauthorized third party — a direct PCI DSS violation that can result in significant regulatory fines and potential revocation of card processing privileges.

Why Pci Compliance Teams Flag Unmasked AI Prompts

The regulatory mandates governing pci are uncompromising: PCI-DSS Requirement 3.4 (Rendering PAN unreadable). Unfortunately, security tooling rarely matches the speed of shadow AI usage. Mitigating this risk requires adopting the guidelines in pci dss v4.0 ai compliance to ensure sensitive information does not end up inside third-party models. The only reliable approach is stripping identifying details at the browser level. Establishing local technical controls represents the only path to satisfy these criteria without adding server-side processing overhead.

PrivacyScrubber delivers client-side protection through local Zero-Trust Data Sanitization (ZTDS), operating as a manual copy-paste board and via the PrivacyScrubber Chrome Extension.

How to Use AI on Real Pci Data — Without Sending a Single Real Name

PrivacyScrubber delivers client-side protection through local Zero-Trust Data Sanitization (ZTDS), operating as a manual copy-paste board and via the PrivacyScrubber Chrome Extension. The in-browser processor automatically maps and replaces identifying information with secure, non-associative tokens (like [NAME_1]) before cloud dispatch. This satisfies the requirements of GDPR compliance, allowing teams to utilize cloud engines without sending raw patient, customer, or employee identities. The Chrome Extension embeds a protection shield inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to automate the swap-and-restore loop directly within the active text box. Processing data through browser-based Named Entity Recognition allows safe integration of Payment gateways and AI-powered support desks for complex tasks while preserving client privacy.

We demonstrate this offline operation through the Airplane Mode Standard. Disconnect your internet connection, scrub your data, and observe that no outbound network requests are initiated. This meets the conditions of PII protection standards, validating that all client information remains on your local terminal.

COMPLIANCE FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Does submitting cardholder data to ChatGPT violate PCI DSS?

Yes. PCI DSS Requirement 4.2.1 requires that PANs (Primary Account Numbers) be protected during transmission over public networks using strong cryptography. ChatGPT is not a PCI DSS certified environment. Transmitting PANs to ChatGPT's servers constitutes transmitting cardholder data to an out-of-scope, non-compliant environment, directly violating PCI DSS Requirements 3 and 4.

What cardholder data elements does PCI DSS protect?

PCI DSS protects: Primary Account Numbers (PANs/credit card numbers), cardholder names when stored with PANs, service codes, expiration dates, and Sensitive Authentication Data (CVV/CVC codes, full magnetic stripe data, PINs). PrivacyScrubber's PCI profile uses Luhn-aware regex to detect and tokenize all PAN formats (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover) before any AI submission.

How does PrivacyScrubber help maintain PCI DSS scope reduction?

PCI DSS scope reduction requires minimizing the systems that touch cardholder data. By tokenizing PANs locally before submission to AI tools, PrivacyScrubber ensures AI vendors are never in scope for your PCI DSS assessment. The AI receives only [CARD_1] tokens, never actual PANs, keeping your Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) boundary intact.

Does protecting data with PrivacyScrubber before AI processing satisfy PCI-DSS Requirement 3.4 (Rendering PAN unreadable)?

Yes. Processing pseudonymized data for a secondary purpose (AI analysis or drafting) aligns with PCI-DSS Requirement 3.4 (Rendering PAN unreadable) because no personally identifiable data is transmitted to the AI provider. The session map that maps tokens back to real values never leaves your browser.

What specific PII does PrivacyScrubber detect for pci workflows?

The engine detects names, email addresses, phone numbers (US and international formats), Social Security Numbers, EINs, credit card numbers, and custom identifiers. PRO users can add custom regex rules to match pci-specific patterns such as proprietary account IDs, MRNs, or internal project codes.

Can I reverse the redaction if I use PrivacyScrubber to mask pci data?

Yes. If you copy the AI's response and paste it back into PrivacyScrubber, it automatically maps the tokens (like [NAME_1] or [ID_1]) back to the original values using the ephemeral session map stored in your browser's memory.

Can PrivacyScrubber be used 100% offline without network requests?

Yes. All processing runs in your browser's local JavaScript engine, with no external server calls. Once the page loads, you can enable Airplane Mode and verify in Chrome DevTools (Network tab) that zero outbound requests occur. All cryptographic operations (including client-side pseudonymization and reverse-revealing) utilize hardware-accelerated XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption and Argon2id key derivation running entirely inside browser RAM, ensuring your pci data stays 100% on your device.

How can I verify that PrivacyScrubber sends zero data to servers?

Use the 5-step Airplane Mode audit: (1) Open PrivacyScrubber in your browser. (2) Disconnect your network connection (enable Airplane Mode). (3) Paste a text sample containing names, emails, and phone numbers. (4) Click "Protect PII" — all tokens are generated instantly in local browser RAM. (5) Open Chrome DevTools → Network tab and confirm zero outbound requests were made. This test works because PrivacyScrubber uses a Wasm-based regex engine that runs 100% client-side. The session token map (e.g. [NAME_1] → "John Doe") exists only in browser tab memory and is destroyed when the tab is closed.

Do I need a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) or GDPR Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with PrivacyScrubber?

No. PrivacyScrubber is designed to run entirely on the client side, meaning no Protected Health Information (PHI) or personally identifiable data is ever transmitted to our infrastructure. Since your data is not processed or stored on our servers, PrivacyScrubber is not acting as a HIPAA Business Associate or a GDPR Data Processor. Consequently, organizations typically determine that standard Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) or Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) are not applicable to PrivacyScrubber. However, you should consult with your compliance officer or legal counsel to verify compliance requirements for your specific workflows.

Can I customize detection rules for industry-specific data formats?

Yes. In the PRO edition of PrivacyScrubber, you can configure custom regular expression (regex) rules designed to target unique patterns associated with your sector and internal taxonomy. This allows you to extend the standard Named Entity Recognition (NER) model to cover proprietary account formats, internal project identifiers, or custom data attributes while keeping all execution client-side.

Is pasting sensitive data into ChatGPT safe?

Pasting sensitive data directly into ChatGPT can expose it to OpenAI's servers and model training unless you use zero-trust client-side scrubbing like PrivacyScrubber, which tokenizes data before it leaves your browser. Protect your workflows for $15/mo with PRO.

How does client-side PII redaction work?

Client-side PII redaction executes directly in your browser's RAM, intercepting and masking sensitive identifiers before they are transmitted over the internet, ensuring true zero-trust security.

How does the Secure Workspace differ from the Browser Extension?

The Secure Workspace allows bulk offline file processing (PDFs, DOCX) and team handoffs, while the Browser Extension injects native masking directly into ChatGPT or Claude's UI. Both are included in our zero-trust ecosystem.

What is the PII MCP Server used for?

The local Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server allows developers to automate PII sanitization in CI/CD pipelines, agentic workflows, and IDEs like Cursor—all executing 100% locally.
