About Caviard
Caviard is a Chrome extension that replaces personal information (PII) in a prompt with placeholders before the text reaches an AI service. Detection and masking run locally in the browser, so the original details are not sent to the model.
It spots names, numbers and identifiers as the user types, and the user can press Alt+R to toggle between the original and redacted text. Sites named include ChatGPT and DeepSeek. The vendor aims the product at teams that want to use AI tools without exposing customer or internal data, and the website also offers a PDF redaction tool, a free tool section, a blog, pricing and a login page.
