Teachers, mentors, and researchers use AI every day. BeeSensible highlights pupil and student data in the text they write, before a prompt or email leaves the school.

A report comment, the write-up of a parent meeting, a mentor note: exactly the texts where AI saves time. And exactly the texts with names, dates of birth, and parents' phone numbers in them. BeeSensible highlights that data while you type, so you can remove it before you send.
From the field
A teacher has thirty reports to write and a deadline. She pastes her notes into ChatGPT and asks for clean wording. Those notes hold full names, dates of birth, and a remark about a pupil's home situation. The text is ready at once, and the data has left the school.
A mentor pastes notes from a parent meeting into an AI tool for a clean write-up. The name, date of birth, grades, and the parents' phone number all go into the prompt. The write-up reads better, but the data of a minor has now been processed by an outside tool.
After an incident, the data protection officer wants to know which student data ended up in which AI tools. A policy on responsible AI use exists. Proof that staff got a warning at the moment itself does not.
The catalog already covers more than 50 AI tools built for education, from exam-proctoring software to homework helpers, each scored on data governance, jurisdiction, and vendor trust. When a teacher opens one, you see it appear. Then the school decides: allow it, allow it with a condition of your own, or not allow it. Anyone opening the tool afterwards sees that decision in the browser, with the approved alternative leading.
The teacher sees the sensitive details while writing the report comment. The draft stays useful without sending real pupil data along with it.
A support file, a placement report, a request for extra help: open it in the Mac or Windows desktop app, and names, dates of birth, and BSNs are marked for you to remove before you share the document or paste it into AI.
Why this is hard
Staff use ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini for lesson material, feedback, and summaries. Often without calling it AI. Policy lags behind what happens every day.
Under GDPR, data about children gets extra protection. Pasting names, BSN numbers, and grades of minors into a consumer AI tool is a breach, even when it happens by accident.
Banning AI outright gives you no safety, only Shadow AI on personal laptops. Staff need help at the moment they type, not a rule they route around.
To parents, to inspectors, to the regulator. Accountability means showing that technical controls work, not just that a policy exists on paper.
Across education
The same risk shows up in different files, from primary school to research.
Primary education
Parent meetings, notes in the pupil tracking system, and reports full of names and dates of birth.
Secondary education
Mentor write-ups, grades, and absence reports about minors.
Vocational colleges
Study coaching, placement assessments, and work-placement files with personal data.
Higher education
Student coaching, grade administration, and theses that carry personal data.
Research
Transcripts, respondent data, and records of study participants.
School administration
Student records, exam administration, and correspondence with parents.
How BeeSensible helps
Sensitive details get a highlight while staff write. They decide what to remove, replace, or mask.
Highlights pupil and student names, student numbers, BSN numbers, dates of birth, and parent contact details while you type.
Runs in the browser, in AI tools, email, and chat, plus a desktop app for macOS and Windows for document redaction and on-device detection. No proxy, no training up front.
You choose: remove, replace with a realistic alternative, or mask. The extension never changes your text on its own and never blocks sending.
Administrators see patterns by tool and category. What an individual staff member writes is never stored and cannot be read.
For leadership, DPO, and privacy officer
BeeSensible gives you the figures accountability asks for: how many markings were adjusted before sending and how many went out anyway, what happened after a tool notice, and what share of AI use runs through approved tools. All at organisation level, never per staff member or student.

Top apps
Example dashboard. Counts and types only, never content.
Data protection officer
Show parents, inspectors, and the regulator that a control sits at the moment of input, with figures per period: markings adjusted or sent anyway, a recorded decision per AI tool, and what people did with the notice.
Privacy officer
The dashboard shows no text and no single people: only aggregate counts, with no per-employee drill-down anywhere. Insight into patterns, not surveillance of people.
CISO and IT
No proxy and no new application. The extension runs in Chrome and Edge. Detection runs on-device or on EU infrastructure, all traffic encrypted in transit.
Honest answers
Straight answers to the questions people actually ask before rolling this out.
No. The extension analyses text in the input fields of supported tools to highlight sensitive data. In on-device mode, that text never leaves the machine. Otherwise it travels to a BeeSensible server inside the EU, is processed in working memory, and is discarded at once. The content is never stored and cannot be read by anyone, not even an administrator.
No, BeeSensible blocks nothing. You see a highlight in the text and choose what to do: remove, replace, or mask. The teacher stays in control, and the school gets insight into patterns.
No tool makes you compliant on its own. BeeSensible helps with GDPR by covering the moment of input and supporting your accountability. The school stays the controller, BeeSensible is the processor, and a processing agreement is signed.
Yes. The detection engine handles Dutch and English reliably and recognises data common in education, such as names, student numbers, BSN numbers, and dates of birth.
Limited. There is no proxy to configure. The desktop app for on-device detection and document redaction is optional. The extension runs in the browser your institution already uses and can be rolled out centrally through your management console.
Compliance
GDPR
Supports your accountability and covers the moment personal data is entered.
Data about minors
Helps recognise pupil and student data before it is shared.
Processing agreement
A processing agreement is signed with every customer. A product DPIA is available on request.
EU processing
Detection runs on the user's own machine, or on ISO 27001 certified EU infrastructure (API in the Netherlands, detection in Germany).
BeeSensible works in the tools your school already uses. No rollout project, and you see your first detections in minutes.
