How it works
Protect locally. Share deliberately.
AVGfilter protects your data before you share it. The browser extension does this on your device, Doc Scanner on your computer, and the appliance inside your own network. An external AI service receives the protected text.
Where your data stays
What stays local and what you share
1. Protect on your device
The browser extension detects and replaces personal data locally in your browser. The link between a token and its original value stays on your device. This protection does not require an upload to an external filtering service.
2. Protected text goes to AI
You keep using your familiar AI service. Detected personal data is replaced with tokens before sending. The remaining text and tokens do go to that external service. Always review the protected text before sharing it.
3. Restore readable data locally
When the AI response contains tokens, the browser extension can restore the corresponding data locally. This keeps the response useful without sending the original values for AI processing.
4. Documents without uploading
Doc Scanner detects and masks personal data in documents and photos on your own computer. It works without internet. The original file stays local; you choose where to share the masked version.
5. Inside your business network
With the appliance, the filtering engine runs inside your own network. For an API integration, the processing location depends on your setup. An external AI service receives the protected text and processes it outside your network.
6. The online demo is different
The demo on this website sends your input to a filtering service to illustrate the process. This is not local processing in your browser. Use the sample or fictional data, not real confidential information.
