Lakera - ChatGPT Data Leak Protection
Lakera - ChatGPT Data Leak Protection is a Chrome extension developed by Lakera AI. This extension provides a privacy guard that protects users from sharing sensitive information with ChatGPT. Whether it's a document that needs to be summarized or accidentally pasting private data from the clipboard to ChatGPT, this extension ensures that important data is not disclosed.
The extension operates entirely on the user's local computer, ensuring that no data leaves the machine. For maximum transparency, the code is open source. The extension offers support for various categories of private data, including credit card numbers, Anglophone names, email addresses, phone numbers, US street addresses, US social security numbers, and secret keys. Users can choose which categories they want to be protected against by enabling or disabling the respective detectors through the extension icon.
It's important to note that the support for the mentioned categories is currently limited to the English language. The extension analyzes the user's input before it is submitted to ChatGPT and provides warnings about any detected private data. Users can then decide whether to proceed or modify their input accordingly. Notably, the extension does not collect any kind of data.
