Pseudonymize - Anonymize
Clear Drop replaces the sensitive data in your documents, presentations or emails with contextual pseudonyms before they are processed by your AI tools. When you are happy with the result, restore your original information in a few clicks.
THE APPLICATION AT A GLANCE
Anonymize sensitive information by redaction before sharing documents, or pseudonymize it to reduce data exposure when using your AI tools.
Pseudonyms can be restored locally. Anonymization by redaction removes the selected values from the copy.
The problem
To save time, teams paste emails, contracts, meeting notes and database excerpts into AI tools. Those materials may contain personal data, customer information or business secrets. Once shared, their handling depends on the service and its settings; internal rules alone may not prevent these disclosures.
Meeting notes, a client email or a code excerpt can contain personal data, confidential information or business secrets.
Public AI tools are sometimes used without company approval. An internal policy alone may not prevent someone from sharing a sensitive document.
Even when a name is removed, other details in a document may still identify a person, customer or project.

Current policy
Google explains that Gemini conversations may be reviewed by human reviewers and retained for up to three years. It advises users not to enter confidential information they would not want a reviewer to see.
February 2026
A security investigation reported that the Chat & Ask AI app database was accessible without authentication, exposing conversations associated with millions of accounts.
July 2025
In 2025, search engines indexed ChatGPT conversations shared by link. OpenAI later removed the option that made those pages discoverable.

During its litigation with The New York Times, OpenAI said it had to preserve certain ChatGPT data in response to a court order, including data covered by deletion requests.
The solution
Clear Drop processes a copy on your computer. Review detected items, choose what to pseudonymize for later restoration, or what to anonymize by redaction before sharing the document.
Your documents are analysed on your computer; the app does not automatically send them to an AI service.
Pseudonymize values you may want to restore after AI processing, or anonymize by redaction with a black or blurred band.
Check the proposed changes and approve the copy you want to export.
After using AI, re-import the result and review any flagged markers before using the final document.
How it works
Import your document, check the detected data and approve its replacement. Work on the protected version with your usual AI tools, then re-import the result to restore your original information. Document processing is local; update checks and some licence features may require a network connection.
Drop in your document. The app analyses it on your machine; processing the document does not require sending it over a network.
The engine helps identify sensitive data: emails, IBANs, names, amounts, IP addresses and project names.
Stay in control. Approve, adjust or add rules in one click. Nothing is masked without your approval.
Get a copy processed according to your choices. Review it before sharing with your AI tool.
Paste the masked text into ChatGPT, Claude or your internal AI tool. Work normally.
Bring the answer back. Clear Drop replaces the tokens with your original data. Your final document is ready.
Formats & Conversions
Import your original file, mask its secrets locally, and ask your AI to return the result in the format you choose — from plain text to PowerPoint.
Fluid interconversion: work with your data in one format and receive your restored answer in another.
Security & Confidentiality
Clear Drop prepares copies locally. The software does not automatically send your documents to an AI service.
Processed on your computer: Detection, pseudonymization, redaction and restoration run on your machine. Checking for updates and some licence features may require a network connection.
No AI service required: The selected document is analysed locally. Processing a document does not require sending it to an AI service.
Secure storage: Mappings between original data and tokens are stored separately on your disk. See the documentation for details about the protections in place.
No trace: Clear Drop does not include usage telemetry. Documents are processed on the device; update and licence features may exchange technical data with online services.
You approve: Review the result and any warnings shown by the application before using or sharing the file.
You stay in control: Review the result before exporting. The level of anonymization depends on the content you choose to redact.
Transparency & Responsibility
A security tool that oversells its guarantees creates a false sense of safety. We prefer clarity.
People remain in charge: automatic detection is an aid; review its results and approve the proposed changes.
Intelligent pseudonymization: the markers preserve some context while replacing selected sensitive values. Pseudonymization reduces exposure but does not eliminate every re-identification risk.
Built for your governance: Clear Drop processes documents locally according to your choices, without replacing decisions made by your risk or DPO teams.
Designed for approved use: the tool secures workflows with the AI systems your company has approved.
