Our Mission
A letter from the Founder
Announcing the Public Release of the StructuralIntel Privacy-by-Design OS PII-Stripping Engine
Most data systems claim to “minimize” or “delete” personal information — but only after they’ve already collected it. This approach relies on human trust, manual processes, and perfect execution. It can fail due to configuration errors, software bugs, operational shortcuts, or outright misuse.
We take a different approach.
Instead of treating privacy as a bolt-on feature, we build it directly into the architecture and data flow.
Privacy isn’t a policy. It’s a design principle.
Today, we’re announcing the upcoming release of our source-available, audited PII-Stripping Engine, a core component of the StructuralIntel Privacy-by-Design OS™. This release is part of our commitment to transparency, safety, research, and public-sector innovation.
1. Purpose of This Release
Our goal is to provide organizations with a verifiable, trustworthy, zero-data privacy layer that operates before data ever enters a system.
This release provides:
✔ A transparent, deterministic method to strip all PII at the source
✔ A privacy layer that protects systems before ingestion
✔ A foundation for privacy-centric municipal and public-benefit platforms
✔ A baseline for academic review, standards development, and independent auditing
✔ A trustworthy implementation that any institution can inspect, verify, or extend
This code is a rejection of surveillance-based design and a step toward citizen-first infrastructure.
2. Who This Code Is For
This release is intended for:
-
Municipalities and government IT teams
-
Healthcare, education, and regulated institutions
-
Nonprofits and public-benefit projects
-
Universities and research labs
-
Developers building privacy-first applications
-
Auditors, risk officers, and compliance teams
-
Anyone who requires verifiable removal of identifiers before storage
This is not for advertising, user-tracking, profiling, surveillance, or exploitative systems.
3. Licensing and Limits - license will be updated upon release

7. Why This Matters
Organizations collect more data than ever. Misuse, breaches, and unauthorized access continue to rise. Privacy is no longer optional; it's a fundamental right.
By enforcing before-ingestion PII stripping, we protect individuals while preserving the ability to learn from aggregate data.
Privacy is not an afterthought.
It is infrastructure.
It is dignity.
It is safety.
And it begins at the source
Ethics are Actions.
Our 4 Core Systems
-
Privacy by Design OS™: automatic enforcement of GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA rules through the OS
-
The WE OWN ZERO DATA RELAY we are a data transporter, not a controller or data store. Our APP keeps ZERO PII
-
Certification cryptographic proof of compliance.
-
Assessment and Remediation: the PII stripped data we gather and then immediately delete, is used to give accurate views of Civic programs
Our Story
StructuralIntel.org started with a simple question:
What would it look like if our technology had the same integrity we expect from our doctors, nurses, and public servants?
We live in a city built on care. People move to Rochester to heal, to work long shifts, to research, to clean rooms, to keep entire systems running. Behind all of that is trust — and that trust is fragile when data can be copied, sold, or misused without anyone ever seeing it happen.
Instead of accepting that as “just how tech works,” we chose the hard path: build tools that make it impossible to quietly turn people’s information into a product. No dark patterns. No data brokering. No hidden catch in the fine print.
That means more work. It means saying no to shortcuts and business models that don’t match our values. It means being honest about what we can do today, what still needs to be proven, and where we need help from our community.
With proper funding, we are working toward a grassroots pilot by March and a city-level adoption decision by June with a local city partner. We want our tools to be judged not by marketing, but by real results: safer workflows, clearer guardrails, and less sensitive data floating around where it doesn’t belong.
We’re building this in partnership with Rochester — clinicians, city staff, technologists, organizers, and neighbors who care about doing the right thing even when no one is watching. Our commitment is simple:
-
Integrity over convenience. If a design makes things easier for us but riskier for the public, we don’t ship it.
-
Hard work over hype. We’d rather earn trust slowly than claim partnerships we don’t yet have.
-
Public good over private gain. The whole point is to make it easier for cities and institutions to protect people, not to extract more from them.
This is our story so far. The next chapter gets written with the people who choose to build, test, and improve this alongside us — starting here, in Rochester.

The David & Goliath Story of StructuralIntel
A small, determined team taking on Big Data’s biggest danger — and building something better.
Big Data has become a giant.
It collects more than it understands, stores more than it can protect, and exposes more than organizations ever intended.
That’s the Goliath.
StructuralIntel began as the opposite:
one person, one idea, and one belief —
If we can remove the risky personal data, we can finally use the valuable data safely.
No massive team.
No giant funding.
Just a small, stubborn mission to build technology that actually respects people.
Our patented PII-stripping engine was created for one purpose:
to protect communities, organizations, and everyday people from the growing risks of uncontrolled data.
It’s precise.
It’s ethical.
And it’s proof that a small force, aimed well, can change the whole game.
This work matters. And it works: the MVP is built, tested, and ready for partners.
We’re ready to grow this from a small, focused breakthrough into real impact — and we can’t do it without your support.
StructuralIntel isn’t fighting the giant alone.
But we are the only ones aiming for the right weak spot.
