Student data does not belong in an AI prompt

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.

  • Processing inside the EU
  • No content stored
  • Helps with GDPR

Who this is for

  • Teachers and mentors using AI for feedback, reports, and parent contact
  • Researchers and staff working with respondent and participant data
  • Data protection officers and privacy officers at schools
  • CISOs and IT teams at school boards, colleges, and universities

The text you type is processed and discarded at once

EU

Detection and storage stay inside the European Union

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 grades in them. BeeSensible highlights that data while you type, so you can remove it before you send.

From the field

Three moments your policy never reaches.

In the classroom

A report comment in thirty seconds

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.

With the mentor

A parent meeting you ask AI to summarise

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.

At the board office

The question from the DPO you cannot answer

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.

Guidance while people write

A student name, date of birth, and BSN are marked before they reach an AI tool.

The teacher sees the sensitive details while writing the report comment. The draft stays useful without sending real pupil data along with it.

Why this is hard

The risk sits in the moment someone types.

01

AI is already in the staff room

Staff use ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini for lesson material, feedback, and summaries. Often without calling it AI. Policy lags behind what happens every day.

02

Data about minors gets extra protection

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.

03

A ban backfires

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.

04

You have to be able to explain it

To parents, to inspectors, to the regulator. Accountability means showing that technical controls work, not just that a policy exists on paper.

Across education

Recognisable wherever you work.

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

A warning in the text field, before anything is sent.

Sensitive details get a highlight while staff write. They decide what to remove, replace, or mask.

Recognises education data

Highlights pupil and student names, student numbers, BSN numbers, dates of birth, grades, and parent details while you type.

Works in the tools you already use

Runs in the browser, in AI tools, email, and documents. No separate app, no proxy, no training up front.

You stay in control

You choose: remove, replace with a realistic alternative, or mask. The extension never changes your text on its own and never blocks sending.

Counts, not content

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

Show the control works, without looking over anyone's shoulder

BeeSensible gives you the evidence accountability asks for, while respecting the privacy of your own staff.

Data protection officer

A control you can demonstrate

Show parents, inspectors, and the regulator that staff get a warning at the moment of input, backed by counts of detections and handled prompts.

Privacy officer

No view into individuals

The dashboard shows no text and no single people. Groups smaller than ten users are not shown. Insight into patterns, not surveillance of people.

CISO and IT

Nothing changes in your stack

No proxy and no new application. The extension runs in Chrome and Edge. Detection and storage stay inside the EU, all traffic over TLS 1.3.

Honest answers

The questions we hear first.

If a tool cannot answer these, it does not belong on your browsers. Here is where BeeSensible stands.

Does BeeSensible watch everything teachers type?

No. The extension analyses text in the input fields of supported tools to highlight sensitive data. That text 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.

Does it block AI tools or block sending?

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.

Does this make us GDPR compliant?

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.

Does detection work on Dutch data too?

Yes. The detection engine handles Dutch and English reliably and recognises data common in education, such as names, BSN numbers, dates of birth, and grades.

How much work is the rollout?

Limited. There is no proxy or new application to install. The extension runs in the browser your institution already uses and can be rolled out centrally through your management console.

Compliance

Built to support the checks you already have to show.

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).

Give staff a signal at the moment that counts

BeeSensible works in the tools your school already uses. No rollout project, and you see your first detections in minutes.
