Privacy Policy - InferShield Browser Extension
Last Updated: February 22, 2026
Effective Date: February 22, 2026
InferShield ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the InferShield browser extension handles your data when you use our service to detect personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive data in AI chat applications.
What We Do
InferShield is a browser extension that scans text you're about to send to AI chat platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot) and alerts you if sensitive information is detected, including:
- API keys and authentication tokens
- Email addresses
- Social Security Numbers
- Credit card numbers
- Phone numbers
- IP addresses
- Other personally identifiable information (PII)
Data Collection & Usage
What Data is Collected
- Text You Type: When you attempt to send a message on a supported AI platform, InferShield temporarily scans the text content. The text is sent to our secure API endpoint for analysis.
- Technical Data: Website URL where the scan occurred, your API key (for authentication only - stored locally in your browser), and the timestamp of the scan request.
What Data is NOT Collected
- Browsing history
- Messages you send that don't trigger a scan
- Any data from non-supported websites
- Personal information beyond what's in the scanned text
