Works with your favorite AI tools

Automatic protection,
zero friction

No manual steps. No copy-paste dance. PasteGuard works silently in the background every time you paste.

1

You copy text

Copy anything — an email from your inbox, a document with client data, a config file with API keys. PasteGuard doesn't intercept your clipboard.

2

PasteGuard masks it

The moment you paste into a supported AI chat, PasteGuard detects sensitive patterns and replaces them with [EMAIL_1] placeholders — before the AI sees it.

3

AI responds safely

The AI answers using the placeholders. PasteGuard then restores the real values in the response, highlighted so you can read them normally.

Built for privacy-first teams

Every feature is designed to be invisible when things go right, and unmistakable when it matters.

🔒

100% Local Processing

All regex matching runs in your browser's content script. Zero network requests. Your data never leaves your machine.

🎯

8 Sensitive Categories

Email, phone, credit card, SSN, API keys, IP addresses, IBANs, and Italian fiscal codes — each with its own color-coded indicator.

↩️

Smart Response Restore

When the AI echoes a placeholder back in its response, PasteGuard automatically highlights the real value in context — so you always see the full picture.

🎛️

Per-category Toggles

Enable or disable any category from the popup in one click. Turn off phone detection when you're sharing contact info intentionally.

💬

Non-intrusive Toast

A compact notification appears only when PasteGuard acts. Built in Shadow DOM — it never conflicts with the page's own CSS or scripts.

⌨️

Typed Input Protection

Not just paste events — PasteGuard also intercepts Enter-to-send so that text you've typed directly is scanned before it's submitted.

Common questions

Does PasteGuard send my data to any server?
Never. All detection happens in a content script running locally in your browser. Your clipboard content, your pastes, and your sensitive data never leave your machine. The only network activity in the Pro/Business plan is a periodic license key validation — and even that only sends the key itself, nothing about your data.
What permissions does PasteGuard request?
Only two: storage (to remember your category preferences) and activeTab (to run on the AI chat tabs you have open). We deliberately chose not to request broad host permissions — we only run on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot.
Does it work while I'm typing, or only on paste?
Both. PasteGuard intercepts the paste event for clipboard input, and also scans the text field when you press Enter to send. So even if you type a sensitive value manually, it will be caught before it's submitted.
What if I want to share my email intentionally?
Just toggle off the "Email addresses" category in the popup before pasting. It takes one click and persists until you turn it back on. You can also disable the entire extension from the popup with the master toggle.
Will the AI's response still make sense with placeholders?
Yes. Modern AI models handle placeholder tokens like [EMAIL_1] naturally — they understand it refers to an email address and respond accordingly. And when the AI echoes the placeholder back, PasteGuard restores the real value in the response, highlighted in the correct color.
Can I verify what the extension actually does?
Yes — Chrome extensions are distributed as readable JavaScript bundles. You can inspect PasteGuard's code directly in your browser via chrome://extensions → Details → Inspect views or by unpacking the .crx file. The extension requests only the minimum permissions needed and makes no undisclosed network requests.
