Should I Tell This to AI?

It's easy to paste a whole email thread or document into a chatbot without noticing the password, ID number, or client detail buried inside it. This tool scans your text for common sensitive-data patterns before you send it anywhere, flagging what to remove or redact first. Nothing you paste here is sent anywhere, the scan runs entirely in your browser.

Before you paste an email thread, a document, or a customer record into ChatGPT, Claude, or any other AI chatbot, it helps to check it first. This tool scans your text locally, in your browser, for patterns that often mean something sensitive is buried in there: passwords, ID numbers, card numbers, API keys, and similar data, so you can remove or redact it before sending.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I tell this to AI?

As a rule, avoid pasting passwords, government ID numbers, full card numbers, private keys, or anyone else's personal data into a general-purpose AI chatbot unless you understand that specific provider's data retention policy. If you're unsure, paste it here first and see what the scan flags.

Does this tool send my text anywhere?

No. The scan runs entirely in your browser using pattern matching, nothing you paste is uploaded, logged, or sent to a server.

What if the scan finds nothing but I'm still unsure?

Pattern matching catches common, structured sensitive data (numbers, keys, emails) but not every kind of confidential information, such as a sensitive business detail described in plain sentences. When in doubt, redact names, companies, and specifics manually before sending.
