Engineering: Zero-Trust Log & Code Sanitization for AI
Scrub raw application logs, AWS keys, JWTs, and proprietary source code algorithms before ChatGPT. Zero-trust developer security.

Zero-Trust Data Sanitization
Watch PrivacyScrubber's local engine transform sensitive Security data instantly in your browser, without any API calls.
Software engineers and DevOps specialists paste production stack traces, Sentry error logs, and proprietary source code into AI to accelerate debugging. PrivacyScrubber's Developer Extension strips Bearer tokens, database connection strings, customer UUIDs, and API credentials before code snippets enter AI models.
Source Code, JWT & Application Log De-Identification
Detects Bearer JWTs, PostgreSQL connection URIs, internal IP subnets, customer UUIDs, and proprietary algorithms in <2ms local browser memory.
Stopping Secret Exfiltration During Debugging Sprints
Production error logs frequently contain user session tokens, authorization headers, and customer email addresses. PrivacyScrubber's browser extension intercepts log pastes, replacing customer UUIDs with [USER_UUID_1] and auth headers with [AUTH_TOKEN_1], allowing engineers to troubleshoot exceptions with AI without violating corporate data security policies.
Production Stack Trace Troubleshooting
-
1
Copy or Paste Unsanitized Content: Engineer copies 100-line production stack trace containing customer email, database host URI, and JWT session token.
-
2
Real-Time In-Browser Sanitization: The extension detects 5 sensitive developer credentials and customer IDs, replacing them with structured tokens in <2ms.
-
3
Submit to LLM with Zero Cloud Exposure: Engineer prompts ChatGPT: "Identify the root cause of the NullPointerException in user session [USER_UUID_1]". AI provides instant code fix.
-
4
Instant Local Reversal (Contextual Reveal): Engineer restores database host and error context locally via in-page reveal to verify the patch in development.
Preventing Source Code Exfiltration & IP Loss
Pasting proprietary algorithmic logic into cloud AI models can result in intellectual property exposure. Edge sanitization ensures proprietary code and secrets never leave the developer workstation, matching our Developer AI Safety framework.
Unified Parity with @privacyscrubber/mcp-server
Our Chrome Extension shares 100% regex engine parity with our Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Code, following protecting server logs and preventing prompt injection.
DevSecOps Compliance Verification
Generate cryptographic audit receipts proving that engineering prompts were stripped of all production secrets, fulfilling securing AI pipelines compliance standards.
Latest Capabilities: Multi-Line Stitching & Local OCR
The PrivacyScrubber Chrome Extension features a smart 3-Line Name-Stitching Lookahead 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.
