⨳ Offline Anonymizer ⨳

Encrypt sensitive text offline before sharing with AI

The Problem

Protecting sensitive text BEFORE exposing to AI is crucial for compliance and data privacy.

Externally-hosted AI is often more viable and powerful than in-house "on-prem" alternatives.

However, they collect user inputs and use the data for training.

API-based software is unacceptable, as it still exposes private information externally.

Encryption must be done on the user's machine, fully offline.

Our Solution

CamoText is local anonymizer software that detects and anonymizes sensitive text with a single click.

The human-in-the-loop can revert any false positives, and highlight-to-anonymize additional text.

CamoText cannot communicate nor transmit any data externally.

Other anonymization services promise monitoring and secure treatment of your data; we never see it.

Once installed, there's no reliance on cloud servers, APIs, nor internet access.

100% Offline

CamoText runs fully locally and offline, and is laptop-friendly.

No cloud servers, no API calls, no external access. Once reviewed, simply save the output or copy and paste into your LLM interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an offline text anonymizer?

An offline text anonymizer is software that runs entirely on your local machine, without needing an internet connection, to detect and remove or encrypt personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive data from text before you share or process it elsewhere, such as with AI models. CamoText is an example of such software, ensuring your data stays private.

How can I use AI like ChatGPT privately?

To use AI like ChatGPT privately, you need to prevent your sensitive data from being sent to the AI provider. Using an offline anonymizer like CamoText allows you to detect and encrypt sensitive information before submitting your text to the AI, ensuring your private data never leaves your computer and isn't used for training.

Is CamoText truly offline?

Yes, CamoText operates 100% offline. Once installed, it does not require an internet connection, use cloud servers, or make any API calls. All processing happens locally on your device, ensuring maximum privacy and security as no data is transmitted externally.

What kind of sensitive text does CamoText detect and anonymize?

CamoText detects a wide range of sensitive information using advanced NLP and pattern matching, including names, locations, contact details, account numbers, financial data, IP addresses, crypto addresses, and more. The full list of supported data types is available in the User Guide.

Users can also manually highlight any text for anonymization and review all suggestions before finalizing.
