Digital Life Project
Submit your platform data to our study. We automatically remove personal information before submission, and your original files never leave your computer.
What we redact:
  • ChatGPT: Names, emails, phone numbers, URLs, IPs using Microsoft Presidio
  • TikTok: IP addresses, device IDs, generalized device models
  • Spotify: IP addresses only
  • Instagram: No redaction - files pass through unchanged
  • YouTube: No redaction - files pass through unchanged
