As both corporations and individuals increasingly adopt Gen-AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, a critical challenge emerges: preventing accidental exposure of sensitive data through clipboard operations. Employees may inadvertently paste confidential information, PII, or trade secrets into these AI platforms, creating significant compliance and security risks for organisations. Similarly, in personal usage, users may unknowingly share private information—such as financial details, health records, or personal messages—while interacting with these tools. This raises serious concerns around privacy, data security, and misuse of personal information, highlighting the need for robust safeguards to ensure sensitive data remains protected in all contexts.

We identify specific events that indicate a user's interest in utilising a tool like ChatGPT. Upon detection, we analyse the clipboard content to identify sensitive information and apply masking as needed. Using the Prompt API, we generate sanitised text, which is then seamlessly placed back into the clipboard for the user's convenience.
