Blindfold EDU

For institutional research, registrar and faculty teams

Bring AI to your student data. Keep every name on campus.

Blindfold Edu swaps names, student IDs and emails for consistent tokens on your own computer. Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot get the full analysis with every credit, GPA and program code intact, and no one leaves campus with a student's identity.

    Why it matters

    Student trust is the foundation every analysis stands on

    Retention models, survey themes, accreditation narratives, course evaluations: AI can turn weeks of this work into an afternoon. The records behind that work belong to students, and they shared them on a promise.

    FERPA makes that promise specific. Personally identifiable information from education records, including indirect details that point to one student, can be shared only with consent or under an exception. Professionals who handle student-level data are the people who keep that promise every day.

    Blindfold Edu lets you keep it and move fast at the same time. The identifiers never leave your computer, so the question of what an AI vendor stores, trains on or retains no longer touches a student's name.
