Hides and anonymizes names, emails, cards and secrets before your prompt reaches ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. 100% local, no servers. STOP DATA LEAKS TO AI CHATBOTS
People run their work through AI chats now. Contracts, emails, patient notes, spreadsheets. Everything you paste is stored on someone else's server.
PiiBlocker masks, redacts and anonymises personal data, sensitive information and secrets before your prompt leaves your browser. Names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, National Insurance numbers, API keys and passwords are detected as you type, replaced with placeholders like [PERSON_A], and swapped back in the reply. The AI only ever sees the placeholders.
Detection and masking run locally. Free mode makes zero network calls. No account, no server, no usage limits.

SUPPORTED SITES
PiiBlocker works on seven AI chat platforms, all free. The extension can read those seven sites and nothing else. See the screenshots for the full list, or visit https://www.piiblock.com
If Chrome asks you to re-approve the extension after an update, that is expected when a version adds protected sites. Click Enable and protection resumes immediately.
