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
