About DataAnonymiser
DataAnonymiser is a privacy-focused tool designed to detect and replace personal or confidential information in text, PDFs, Office documents, and images directly on the user’s device before it is shared with AI services like ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot. The software operates entirely offline, ensuring that sensitive data such as names, phone numbers, financial details, and project names are anonymized using placeholders and later restored locally after receiving AI responses. This approach minimizes exposure to third parties and supports compliance with data protection requirements. DataAnonymiser offers both a desktop application and a browser add-on, enabling individuals and teams to anonymize prompts, documents, or screenshots seamlessly during their workflow. For organizations, an enterprise console allows centralized deployment of data loss prevention policies across multiple devices, ensuring consistent protection without relying on external servers. The tool is particularly useful for professionals handling sensitive information, compliance teams managing data exposure risks, and individuals seeking to use AI tools without compromising personal or confidential data. The browser add-on integrates with platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and email services such as Gmail or Outlook, automatically flagging and anonymizing text before it is processed by AI. The desktop app supports direct anonymization of uploaded files, providing a straightforward way to clean documents before sharing them. By keeping all operations local, DataAnonymiser ensures that original data remains on the user’s device, reducing the risk of accidental data leaks. The tool also includes features for benchmarking performance against other privacy filters, with a focus on high detection rates and low false positives. Users can test the tool’s accuracy and report any missed cases for additional support time, reinforcing its commitment to reliability and user trust.
