Four ways to keep PII out of AI. Here is where each one breaks.
Every approach in this category trades something away. These pages set out what each trade actually is, and why redacting on the device before anything is sent is the one that holds up.

ON-DEVICE VS CLOUD
On-device redaction vs cloud redaction APIs
Why sending data to a cloud service to have it de-identified creates the exposure you were trying to avoid.
DESKTOP VS BROWSER-ONLY
Desktop app vs browser-extension-only redaction
Why the browser is the right place to catch a leak and the wrong place to do the redaction.
APP VS LIBRARY
A finished app vs a self-hosted redaction library
Open-source toolkits are free and flexible. This compares the total cost of owning one against a finished local app.
REDACTION VS SETTINGS
Redaction vs relying on the AI vendor's privacy settings
Opting out of training is a promise about what happens to your data after it lands. Redaction changes what lands.
