NMB Shadow

NMB Shadow is a browser extension created by NoMoreBreach to prevent sensitive information from being accidentally sent to AI chatbots. It acts like a security guard for your computer, checking information as you type it into AI programs. If it finds personal details or secret codes, it hides them with a '[REDACTED]' tag before they can be sent. This way, your information stays safe while the AI can still understand what you are asking.

Benefits

NMB Shadow offers several advantages. It can spot and hide over 40 different types of sensitive data, including personal details like email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers, as well as developer secrets like passwords and API keys. The extension works locally on your device, meaning your data never goes to the company that made the extension or anywhere else online. It also has a feature that stops you from sending messages if sensitive information is detected, adding an extra layer of protection. This helps you follow important rules like GDPR, SOC2, and HIPAA, allowing you to use AI tools without worrying about data leaks.

Use Cases

This extension is useful for anyone who uses AI chatbots for work or personal tasks. It can protect your personal information, like your social security number or passport details, from being exposed. It also safeguards important developer information, such as AWS keys or GitHub tokens, which are crucial for software development. You can even set it up to protect information on specific websites, including internal AI tools your company might use. It works with popular AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Vibes

Users have reported that NMB Shadow is very effective at its job. They appreciate how quickly it detects sensitive information and how it keeps their data secure on their own device without making it difficult to use the AI tools. Many consider it a necessary tool for anyone concerned about online privacy when using AI.
