Hi, I am looking to OpenRefine software for a mass cleaning of data. It's a large data set with sensitive information. Are there any security or privacy concerns/issues with uploading such data to OpenRefine?

If you are using the standard OpenRefine distribution, you are only "uploading" the data to a server running on your own computer. It never travels over the internet.
