RedactChat - Document Sanitizer for ChatGPT

About

🛡️ Protect Your Privacy When Using ChatGPT with RedactChat 🛡️ 

RedactChat (*Patent Pending*) is the essential Chrome extension for professionals, legal teams, and anyone who uses ChatGPT with sensitive documents. Our technology creates a mandatory, client-side security layer that ensures Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and confidential information is removed or obscured before your files ever leave your device for the external AI server.

The Problem: When you upload documents to ChatGPT, your raw, sensitive data is immediately exposed.

The RedactChat Solution: We intercept your upload, give you full control to sanitize the data locally, and only send the scrubbed version to ChatGPT. The original, raw document never leaves your browser.

Key Features & Why RedactChat is Your Best Choice
🔒 Mandatory Client-Side Security Workflow
Automatic Interception: RedactChat automatically detects and intercepts file uploads and drag-and-drop actions on ChatGPT. It also detects and intercepts large paste actions, giving you the option to either past as is or sanitize before sending to ChatGPT.

Zero-Trust Processing: All processing happens locally in your browser. We send No data to external servers or analytics platforms until you have approved the sanitization.

Unmatched Privacy: Your raw file content never touches ChatGPT servers. The original content is only in your browser's memory and is scrubbed before transmission.

🧠 Automatic PII Detection
Our engine automatically scans your documents to identify and flag common PII, including:

Emails and Phone Numbers

Physical Addresses and SSNs

Credit Cards and IP Addresses

Dates of Birth

✨ User-in-the-Loop Sanitization Panel
A modal popup appears with a document preview and powerful controls, putting you in charge of the final data payload:

Redact (⬛): Replace sensitive data with block characters.

Tokenize ([TYPE_N]): Replace data with generic tokens to preserve structure without revealing the content.

Delete: Completely remove sensitive information from the text.

None: Override the process to upload the file unsanitized.
