Scrub Source Code & Secrets Before Sending to ChatGPT
Hardcoded credentials, internal hostnames, proprietary algorithms, database connection strings, private keys, and unreleased feature code in snippets shared for AI code review. — automatically detected and replaced with labelled placeholders before your text ever reaches ChatGPT. Processing runs entirely in your browser. Zero bytes leave your device.
A 2025 Cyberhaven report found that 10.7% of employees regularly paste source code into AI tools — and 3.1% include credentials. This is now the #1 insider threat vector for IP leakage.
Relevant Compliance Frameworks
This use case intersects with the following regulations and standards. CleanMyPrompt is a data minimisation tool — it is not a substitute for legal advice or certified compliance software.
Why this matters for ChatGPT: ChatGPT is not HIPAA-eligible without a Business Associate Agreement. Most free and Plus plans lack BAAs.
What Gets Redacted — Example
conn = psycopg2.connect(host='prod-db.internal.acme.com', user='admin', password='S3cur3P@ss!')
conn = psycopg2.connect(host='[HOSTNAME]', user='[REDACTED]', password='[PASSWORD]')
Who Uses This
- Developers getting AI code reviews
- Engineers debugging production issues with AI
- Security teams auditing codebases with AI assistance
The Regulatory Risk
Most enterprise IP agreements classify proprietary source code as a trade secret. Transmitting trade secrets to third-party AI services without authorisation may constitute a breach of employment contracts and NDA obligations.
