For small companies that use ChatGPT, Copilot and other AI chats
Use AI at work without leaking customer data
LLM Mask checks what your team pastes or types into AI chats, on their own computer, and swaps names, IBANs, citizen numbers and passwords for placeholders. When they copy the answer, the real details come back.
No account. No server. Nothing is sent to us.
On your computer
What you paste
Mail Pieter Hendriks, IBAN NL91 ABNA 0417 1643 00
What the AI receives
Mail [NAME_1], IBAN [IBAN_1]
Works on
- ChatGPT
- Claude
- Gemini
- Copilot
- Perplexity
- Mistral
- Grok
- DeepSeek
- Meta AI
In Chrome and Edge. On phones: a free web page that does the same check.
The risk
Your team already uses AI. The risk is one paste away.
A customer email, a spreadsheet row, a patient note: pasted into a chat to save time. Once it is sent, it sits on someone else's servers. Most companies have no rule for this, and the ones that do can't check it.
- Customer names, email addresses and phone numbers
- Citizen numbers (BSN), IBANs and card numbers
- Health information and medical codes
- Passwords, API keys and access tokens
- Your own client names, project names and internal terms
How it works
One message, from start to finish
Everything happens in the browser on the employee's computer.
Features
Built for the way people actually work
Ask first, or replace automatically
Show what was found and let the person choose, or swap details straight away. The dialog coaches people at the moment it matters. Passwords and keys can never be sent as they are.
Checks typed messages too
Not just pastes: a message is checked again when someone presses Enter or the send button.
Real details back on copy
Copy an answer and the placeholders become the real names and numbers again, only on your computer.
Spreadsheets: column names only
Paste a table and LLM Mask offers to send just the headings, or the table without its personal columns. Enough for a formula or an analysis plan; the personal data stays with you.
Your own company terms
Add client names, project names or internal domains. They are replaced however someone writes them: in other capitals, with a dash or underscore, run together or without accents.
Files and downloads
Text, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files are checked inside and can go as a cleaned copy; with LLM Mask Plus also PDFs, scans and photos. Other files are allowed, asked about or blocked by your setting. Downloads from AI chats can be recorded or blocked.
Warns about suspicious answers
If a copied answer contains hidden characters or instructions aimed at another program, LLM Mask points it out.
Eleven languages
English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Hindi and Japanese, following the browser's language.
Photos lose their hidden data
Before a photo goes into an AI chat, LLM Mask removes its GPS location, date, camera model and other hidden data. The picture itself stays as it is.
Your client and staff lists
Import a name export from your customer or payroll system and every name on it is recognised, however unusual. The list stays on that computer.
Source code: your choice
Code can carry hostnames, keys and colleagues' names. A paste that looks like code is let through, asked about first or blocked, as you set it.
See what each placeholder stands for
A small pill on the chat page opens a panel with the real details behind the placeholders on that site, to look up, copy or forget.
Safe dictation
Speak to the AI. Your voice stays on your computer.
The voice mode and the dictation button of an AI chat send your voice to the AI company. LLM Mask can't check sound, so with Pro you dictate in LLM Mask's own window: your speech becomes text on your computer and is checked before it goes into the chat.
Part of LLM Mask Pro, coming soon
1.Press Alt+Shift+D in the chat
A small LLM Mask window opens. Choose the language you speak and start talking.
2.Speech becomes text on your computer
An open speech model runs in the browser. Spoken numbers are written as digits, so a spelled-out IBAN or phone number is recognised.
3.Checked like a paste
Names, ID numbers, IBANs and other details are replaced with placeholders before the text goes into the chat.
4.The audio is never stored or sent
It stays in the window's memory until you record again or close the window. Need a copy? Save it with every detail found silenced.
- 20 languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, Hindi, Swahili, Amharic and Somali.
- Light on your computer: only the speech model for the languages you dictate is downloaded, once (250 to 670 MB), and it runs only while the dictation window is open.
- Companies can block the microphone on AI chat sites, so every spoken word goes through safe dictation.
Speech recognition makes mistakes, especially with unusual names. Read the text before you insert it: a misheard name isn't found by the check either.
What it recognises
The details that should never travel with a prompt
- Names
- Email addresses and phone numbers
- Home and business addresses
- Citizen and ID numbers: Dutch BSN, Belgian, German, ID numbers from 20+ European countries, all 54 African countries, Turkey, Latin America, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, China and Japan, US Social Security numbers, Canada's SIN, passports
- IBANs and card numbers
- Dates of birth
- Customer and reference numbers
- Energy meter and EAN codes
- Health data and medical codes
- Passwords, keys and tokens
- Your own company terms
On our test set of 994 realistic texts, LLM Mask caught 99.9% of the sensitive details, with false alarms on 0.7% of clean texts.
Privacy
Private by design, not by promise
LLM Mask has no server. There is nothing to hack, subpoena or sell.
Checked on the computer itself
The text you paste is checked in your browser and never sent to us.
Placeholder memory stays in the browser
The link between [NAME_1] and the real name is kept in browser memory and is gone when the browser closes.
No account, no tracking
We don't know who uses LLM Mask or what they paste. The extension only runs on the AI chat sites and asks for just two other permissions: storage and downloads.
Optional reports go to you, not us
Companies can send counts, such as "2 names replaced on chatgpt.com", to their own Google Sheet. Never text, names or values.
Don't take our word for it: check it yourself
- Switch off your internet and paste a text into the Try it box on LLM Mask's settings page: names and numbers are still found and replaced. The check needs no connection.
- Your IT person can open the browser's developer tools (F12, Network) while pasting into an AI chat: no request goes out from LLM Mask. The only exception is a report address your company sets itself, which receives counts, never text. LLM Mask Plus downloads its model once from our own server and sends no text.
- The extension's own code isn't minified or hidden: every line can be read in the installed folder before it is rolled out.
What LLM Mask doesn't do
- It reads inside text, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files and offers a cleaned copy; PDFs, scans and photos only with LLM Mask Plus. Other files it asks about or blocks, depending on your setting.
- It can't check the ChatGPT or Copilot phone apps; no extension can. Use the free web page on phones.
- If your company allows it, someone can still choose to paste the original. That choice is counted in the activity log.
- LLM Mask Plus reads printed text in scans and photos, not handwriting; a blurred, skewed or sideways scan can be misread.
- Names are found through cue words (Mr, Dear, Name:), common first names and the lists you import; LLM Mask Plus's model finds many more. An unusual name with none of these can be missed: import your client list or add it as a company term.
- Placeholders last until the browser closes, and each AI site has its own: the same client can be [NAME_1] today and [NAME_4] tomorrow or on another site. That is because the real names are never written to disk.

Enterprise AI security, or LLM Mask?
Large security platforms now offer AI data protection too. They work differently, and they are built for a different size of company.
| Enterprise AI security platforms | ||

| When sensitive details are found | The prompt is blocked, or the employee gets a warning | Details are replaced with placeholders, the AI still gives a useful answer, and the real details return when it is copied |
| What is covered | All apps and devices behind the platform, including desktop apps and developer tools | The listed AI chat sites in the browser, plus a web page for phones |
| Getting started | A network project, through a sales process | Install in minutes; one rollout file for all computers |

The rollout kit creates the files for Google Admin, Microsoft Intune, Windows and Mac. Employees can't loosen the settings.
See which AI tools your team uses
The activity counts name the AI site for every event, so you spot shadow AI on the supported sites without reading anyone's prompts.
Activity you can show an auditor
What was checked, replaced or blocked, as counts and categories. Export to CSV, or collect it in your own Google Sheet with a live dashboard and alerts.

Settings that follow your frameworks
Tick what applies to you (GDPR, NIS2, DORA, EU AI Act Article 4, NEN 7510): LLM Mask sets the stricter settings they recommend, lists what is left for you to do and prints a report of what is in place. It never claims that you are compliant.

Coming soon: LLM Mask Pro
For professionals who work with client files
Lawyers, accountants, care workers, HR advisers and others who handle client files on their own. Pro is LLM Mask Plus for one person: a model on your own computer that also finds names on no list, dates of birth, health details and religion or union membership, and that checks the PDFs, scans and photos you upload and what you dictate. Nothing is sent anywhere to be checked.
- Everything in Free
- The model on your computer for names, numbers, dates of birth, health details and special categories
- PDFs, scans and photos checked before you upload them, with a cleaned copy
- Safe dictation: speak instead of typing. Your voice becomes text on your own computer and is checked before it goes into the chat; the audio is never stored or sent
- A notice when a pasted text looks confidential or holds instructions aimed at an AI
Planned price: €6 a month or €60 a year, with the first 3 months free
