Why Client-Side Scrubbing is Better

Local Browser Tokenization

PrivacyScrubber runs inside your browser. When you paste patient data or financial records into ChatGPT, it intercepts the text and replaces PII with tokens (e.g., [NAME_1]) before it is transmitted to OpenAI.

Context-Aware Reversal

When ChatGPT responds using those tokens, PrivacyScrubber automatically restores the original names and IDs on your screen, maintaining perfect workflow context.

Avoid Enterprise Upgrades

You don't need an expensive ChatGPT Enterprise license and BAA just to keep your data safe. Client-side scrubbing makes any ChatGPT tier safe for corporate use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does OpenAI use my data for training ChatGPT?
If you use the free or Plus versions of ChatGPT, OpenAI may use your prompts for model training unless you manually opt out. Even then, your data is sent to their servers. With PrivacyScrubber, your sensitive data is locally redacted and replaced with tokens before it ever reaches OpenAI, guaranteeing it cannot be trained on or logged.
Is ChatGPT HIPAA compliant?
ChatGPT is only HIPAA compliant if you have an Enterprise agreement and a signed BAA with OpenAI. However, if you use PrivacyScrubber to perform zero-trust local tokenization, the Protected Health Information (PHI) never leaves your device, making it safe to use ChatGPT without a BAA.
How does the Chrome Extension work with ChatGPT?
The PrivacyScrubber extension adds a seamless privacy layer directly into the ChatGPT web interface. You type or paste normally, and before you hit 'send', the extension sanitizes the prompt inline. It's completely invisible to OpenAI.
