How Anonymization Works
Instead of blocking you, Zeuslock can replace sensitive values with safe look-alike placeholders so the AI still understands your request and the real value never leaves your browser.
When Zeuslock finds sensitive data, it does not always block you. Often it offers to anonymize — replace the sensitive parts with safe, look-alike placeholders so the AI tool still understands your request, but the real value never leaves your browser.
Format-preserving replacement
The placeholder keeps the same shape as the original, so the AI's answer stays useful:
- A credit card still looks like a card number.
- An email still looks like an email.
- An API key still looks like a key.
The structure is kept; the real value is hidden.
Accept and send
When Zeuslock offers to anonymize, you see what it found. Accept, and it cleans the prompt and sends the safe version — then shows a confirmation like “2 sensitive item(s) anonymized.”
Example
You type: “My card is 4111 1111 1111 1111, why was it declined?”
Zeuslock sends: “My card is 4xxx xxxx xxxx 1111, why was it declined?”
The AI still helps with your question; your real card number never leaves your browser.
