Frequently asked questions
What people ask before they install it: pseudonymisation versus anonymisation, the GDPR, documents, the word limit and where your text goes.
What is Nonimo?
Nonimo is a desktop app for Mac and Windows that masks client data before it reaches ChatGPT or any other AI. On your computer, names and ID numbers become labels such as [PERSON_1], and the real details go back in when you copy the reply.
What does Nonimo do?
Nonimo keeps client data away from AI tools. It redacts selected text in any app with one key, what you paste into ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, and Word, Excel and PDF files. It also covers the fields you choose on ID documents.
Which tool redacts client data before using ChatGPT?
Nonimo is a desktop app for Mac and Windows that redacts personal data before you paste it into ChatGPT. Select the text and press one key: names, ID numbers and IBANs come back as labels, and your clients' data stays on your computer.
Does my text leave my computer when I use Nonimo?
With the Nonimo app, your text is redacted on your computer and doesn't reach Nonimo. What you paste into the AI tool is the redacted version. More on the security page at nonimo.ai.
Does Nonimo anonymise or pseudonymise?
Under the GDPR, what Nonimo does is pseudonymisation. Personal data becomes labels on your computer, and because the table that restores the real values stays with you, the redacted text is still personal data for you.

Does Nonimo help a firm meet its GDPR obligations?
Yes, Nonimo helps a firm meet its GDPR obligations. It applies pseudonymisation, a technical measure named in Articles 25 and 32(1)(a), and cuts what reaches the AI provider. The firm still needs a lawful basis, a processing contract and clear information for its clients.
Is putting client data in ChatGPT a reportable data breach?
Which AI tools does Nonimo work with?
Nonimo works with every AI tool, because it connects to none of them. It works on the text you select on your own computer before you paste it, so it behaves the same with ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini or any other.
Is there a Nonimo browser extension?
Yes, the Nonimo extension works in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, together with the Nonimo app on your Mac or Windows PC. On Chrome and Edge, you install it from the Chrome Web Store; on Safari, it's built into the Nonimo app for Mac.

Can I cover my passport details and add a watermark before sending a copy?
