Data handling

Managing sensitive data

A practical boundary for safe uploads during Patlr early access.

Last updated September 15, 2026

Do not upload regulated or highly sensitive data yet. Patlr is not represented as HIPAA compliant, PCI compliant, or approved for classified information.

Do not submit

  • Protected health information or identifiable medical records
  • Payment card numbers, bank credentials, passwords, private keys, or authentication secrets
  • Government identification numbers, biometric templates, or genetic data
  • Data whose contract or regulation prohibits this processing

Prepare data before upload

  • Remove direct identifiers when they are not needed.
  • Replace identifiers with random references and keep the key outside Patlr.
  • Limit the file to required columns and dates.
  • Review free text for hidden identifiers.

How Patlr reduces exposure

Most transformations run in the browser and Patlr has no server-side upload store. Optional AI receives only selected text values and a limited number of records.

Your responsibilities

Confirm organizational permission, lawful basis, consent where required, and that the selected configuration meets your obligations.

Accidental submission

Close or refresh the session, remove unneeded downloads, and report the event without including sensitive content.
