Question 1

Does this tool send my logs or API keys to any server?

Accepted Answer

No. The PII Scrubber executes 100% locally in your browser using client-side regular expressions. No log snippets, tokens, or credentials ever touch an external server or persistent local storage.

Question 2

Which credentials and secret types are automatically redacted?

Accepted Answer

It identifies and redacts JWTs, OpenAI keys (sk-proj-), Stripe tokens, AWS Access Keys (AKIA) and secret keys, GitHub tokens (ghp_), Slack tokens, database connection URLs (Postgres, Mongo, MySQL), private cryptographic keys, emails, IPv4/IPv6 addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers.

Question 3

Why shouldn't I paste raw logs directly into AI chatbots?

Accepted Answer

Commercial AI chatbots store prompt histories and may ingest training or conversation telemetry. Leaking production database URLs, user PII, or cloud credentials violates GDPR/SOC2 compliance and creates severe security breach vectors.
