Does This Look Familiar?

Every time you paste personal information into an AI chatbot, you're handing it over to a third-party server, permanently logged and potentially used for model training.

I have type 2 diabetes and my doctor prescribed metformin 500mg twice daily. Can you help me understand the side effects?

AI services store your prompts. Your health data isn't yours anymore.

My credit card 4532-1234-5678-9012, account number 8839201-44, expires next month. What's the best way to dispute a charge?

One data breach exposes everything you've shared.

My OpenAI key is sk-proj-Tx8m... Can you help me debug why my API calls are failing with a 401 error?

AI training data can be extracted. Your secrets aren't secret.

43% of workers share sensitive data with AI tools every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you send a message to an AI chatbot, its transmitted to and stored on the AI providers servers. Depending on the platform and your settings, your prompts may be used to train future models, accessed by the providers employees for review, or exposed in a data breach. In 2024, a ChatGPT bug exposed users chat histories and payment details to other users. PiiBlocker ensures your personal data is replaced with safe placeholders before it ever leaves your browser so even if the AI platform is compromised, your real data was never there.

The mapping between placeholders and real data is encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and stored locally. It auto-expires after 4 hours, and you can wipe it instantly at any time.

Yes. The AI responds using placeholders (like [PERSON_A]), and PiiBlocker automatically swaps them back to your real data. You see the full, natural response.

Yes. ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are all fully supported in the free tier. More platforms (Perplexity, Mistral) coming in future updates.

The free tier is free forever with full detection and masking. Pro adds convenience features like automatic soft-PII masking and smart strategies. Pro is optional.

Right-click any text and select ‘Mask with PiiBlocker’ to manually mask anything. Check ‘Always detect this’ to teach it for future prompts.
