PISIGuard

Protect your personal and sensitive info when you chat with AI

PISIGuard: Personally Identifiable & Sensitive Information Guard

I built PISIGuard because I’ve been horrified at how much personal & sensitive information people (including myself) are feeding AI on daily basis. It is cumbersome to censor information by hand, so obviously very few do that at varying degrees of consistency. I wanted something practical that will hide personal & sensitive data, and of course without routing them through yet another server. So PISIGuard runs entirely in your browser. It spots names, email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, API keys, and more, replaces them with safe placeholders, then puts the real values back into the AI’s reply. From your point of view, it’s mostly invisible; from the AI’s point of view, the sensitive stuff was never there.

All detection, masking, and restoration happens locally. No data is sent to an external service. Nobody sees your messages but you and the AI, and the AI only sees the placeholders.

Features

• Catches common sensitive information before they hit the AI servers: names, emails, phone numbers, passwords, API keys, and more.
• Masks each piece of sensitive data with a unique placeholder (like John Smith instead of your real name) before the message is sent.
• Restores the original values in the AI’s response automatically, so you can read the reply naturally.
• Works on popular AI chat platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek).
• All processing stays on your device. No telemetry, no server calls, no analytics.
• Minimal permissions: the extension only needs access to the sites you use it on.
• No background processes: the extension only activates when you’re on a supported AI chat page.
• PISIGuard is Configurable: if you need more detailed rules to detect sensitive information, you can provide your own set (advanced use).
