Sensitive data scanning

about 15 minBuildingchecked 2h agoOfficial page
The short version

Sensitive data scanning helps you find and manage private information like names, credit card numbers, or government IDs in your Lovable project. It checks new messages and files, and can also scan existing chat history, databases, and storage.

Anyone working with private, confidential, or customer data needs this to ensure they are handling it correctly and securely.

Do this, in order

  1. 1

    Make sure your workspace has an 'Enterprise' plan.

    This feature is only available for Enterprise plans.

  2. 2

    Ask a workspace owner or admin to enable 'Sensitive data scanning' in your workspace settings under 'Privacy & security'.

    This is the main switch that turns on the feature and makes other related controls available.

  3. 3

    Ask a workspace owner or admin to configure 'Chat send protection' and 'Block publishing with PII' settings in 'Privacy & security' based on your team's needs.

    These settings control how Lovable handles private information in new messages and whether projects with unresolved private data can be published.

  4. 4

    Go to 'Project' > 'More' > 'Sensitive data' in your project.

    This is where you can manage private data findings and run scans.

  5. 5

    Click 'Run scan' to check your project's existing chat history, database, and storage for private information.

    This helps you find private data that might already be stored in your project.

  6. 6

    Review the findings in the 'Sensitive data' tab and take action (e.g., edit, redact, or dismiss) as needed.

    This allows you to manage any private information detected, ensuring compliance and data security.

Paste this into your project

Lovable, please help me set up sensitive data scanning in my project. I need to detect and manage private information in chat messages, file uploads, chat history, and our built-in database and storage. Guide me through the process of enabling it, configuring protection for new messages, running scans on existing data, and reviewing findings.

Where people get stuck

  • Forgetting to enable 'Sensitive data scanning' in workspace settings, which prevents any detection or management of private information.
  • Not having an 'Enterprise' plan, as this feature is not available on other plans.
  • Not having the correct 'workspace owner' or 'admin' role to enable and configure the feature.
  • Ignoring 'High' sensitivity findings, which represent the most critical private data that needs immediate attention.
  • Assuming scans automatically remove or change data; they only detect it, requiring you to take action on findings.
