Description
DuckDuckGo is an Internet privacy service that allows you to easily control your personal information online. We started out as a search engine that doesn’t track you. We’ve expanded our protections to ensure you are safe no matter where you go. The Privacy Grade is a measure of trustworthiness. It shows how a site has been trusted before and after Privacy Protection was applied. Sites are required to use encrypted connections whenever possible, protecting your data from prying eyes. Our tracker blocker prevents advertisers from tracking you on sites you visit. The Internet is now less creepy. Other search engines can track your search history. We don't track you.
Description
Velum Privacy is designed to protect personal data before it interacts with an AI assistant, subsequently restoring the actual values in the response, all while operating solely on your machine without the need for servers, accounts, or any telemetry. The system is inherently reversible; it employs one-way redaction to secure the data, although this would typically compromise the response, yet a local mapping ensures that the returned reply remains intelligible. This solution comprises three distinct interfaces integrated into a single engine: a browser extension compatible with Chrome, Brave, Edge, and Vivaldi that offers text masking without requiring an account; a macOS desktop application that manages documents, folders, and coding tasks through MCP, with a Windows version currently under development; and an application for Jira and Confluence Cloud that operates within your own Atlassian environment. Detection is achieved through a combination of pattern recognition, checksum validation specifically for IBANs and national IDs, and a local named entity recognition model that supports nine language variations, with published accuracy metrics highlighting a remarkable 99.8% must-mask F1 score at the highest level, including failure rates. The commitment to transparency is evident, as the extension specifies zero host permissions, while the desktop application meticulously lists every outbound connection and ensures masking occurs even when the network is offline, reinforcing the integrity of the system. Such comprehensive measures ensure that users can maintain control over their sensitive information while enjoying the benefits of AI technology.
