AI Youth Counseling PII Auditor

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Young people opening up to generative AI
Step 2 AI counseling service privacy protection issues
Step 3 AI counseling conversation log PII auto-detection & masking SaaS

Problem

Young people are sharing sensitive personal information—real names, school names, employer names, medical conditions—during emotional counseling sessions with generative AI. This exposes AI counseling service operators to privacy law violation risks from personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive data unintentionally accumulated in conversation logs. Manual inspection takes approximately 40 hours per 10,000 log entries, and Korea's Personal Information Protection Commission can impose penalties of up to 3% of violating revenue.

Solution

Real-time scanning of AI counseling conversation logs to (1) automatically detect PII such as names, national ID numbers, and school names, (2) classify mental health-related sensitive information (diagnoses, medication names, self-harm expressions), and (3) provide automated masking and retention-period-based auto-deletion reports. Differentiated by reflecting Korea's Personal Information Protection Act special provisions on sensitive data processing restrictions.
