ChatGPT PII Redactor

A free chrome extension by AB Siddiqi.

Protect your privacy while using ChatGPT with automatic PII detection and redaction. It automatically detects and redacts personally identifiable information (PII) from files (Doc/PDF) and PASTED text before they reach ChatGPT, ensuring your sensitive data stays private.

🛡️ What It Does

- PDF files - Extracts text and removes PII before upload
- Word documents (.docx) - Processes document content and redacts sensitive data

- Email addresses → `[REDACTED EMAIL]`
