Data Sanitizer: a privacy scrubber for AI-bound logs
A browser-based tool that replaces secrets, identifiers, and selected personal data with consistent tokens before logs or documents are shared with AI.
Field notes
Data Sanitizer uses typed, repeatable placeholders rather than generic blanks, allowing an AI system to reason about relationships while concealing source values. The page says its browser-side engine recognizes credentials, cloud and network identifiers, and optional personal data, with a separate HIPAA / Documents preset. A change-highlighting view helps users inspect replacements, and the local mapping can restore values in an AI response. The site explicitly describes the feature as a best-effort aid, not certified compliance software.
