About

Velum Privacy masks personal data before it reaches an AI assistant, then restores the real values in the reply. Everything runs on your own machine. No servers, no accounts, no telemetry. Reversible by design: one-way redaction protects the data but breaks the answer. A local mapping means the reply comes back readable. Three surfaces, one engine. A browser extension for Chrome, Brave, Edge and Vivaldi, text masking free, no account. A macOS desktop app for documents, folders and coding agents over MCP, Windows in progress. A Jira and Confluence Cloud app that runs inside your own Atlassian instance. Detection combines pattern matching, checksum validation for IBANs and national IDs, and a local NER model across nine language variants. Accuracy is published, including failure rates: 99.8% must-mask F1 at the top tier. Verifiable, not asserted: the extension declares zero host permissions, and the desktop app names every outbound call and masks with the network off.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Velum Privacy makes it easy to protect sensitive information before using AI tools. I particularly like the focus on privacy and the fact that it can help identify and handle sensitive data without making the workflow overly complicated. The interface is straightforward, and it feels like a practical solution for teams that want to use AI while keeping better control over their data.

Cons

  • There is still some room for improvement in terms of integrations and customization options, especially for more advanced enterprise use cases
