About PasteGuard
WHY PASTEGUARD?
Every time you send a message to an AI chatbot, you risk exposing sensitive data — emails, phone numbers, credit cards, API keys. PasteGuard detects them automatically, lets you review and control what gets masked, and replaces only the confirmed items when you hit Send. The AI never sees your real data. You read the response normally.
HOW IT WORKS
Paste or type a message — PasteGuard detects sensitive data instantly using local pattern matching
A review panel shows every detected item with a toggle. Turn off any false positives
Press Enter or click Send — only the toggled-on items are replaced with neutral placeholders like [EMAIL_1]
When the AI responds with a placeholder, PasteGuard restores the real value highlighted in context
