The No-Upload AI Analyst: Hash, Mask, Redact—AI Analytics Without CSV File Uploads

AI, data, numbers—without uploads. Hash, mask, and redact PII, then run data analytics locally for time-saving and privacy.

In this episode, we build a No-Upload AI Analyst that keeps your PII safe: HMAC SHA-256 hashing, masking, and redaction using policy presets and client-side transforms. We’ll: • Reframe the problem (insights > risk) • Set four hard constraints (no uploads, local preferred, policy presets, human-readable audit) • Use rules-first privacy + schema semantics • Walk the 5-step workflow (paste headers → pick preset → set secret → transform → analyze) • Show real-world cases (HIPAA/HITECH-aware analytics, FERPA contexts, product analytics) • Share a checklist + quiz + local Streamlit approach Perfect for d ...
