How Prytive works
From browser extension to compliance dashboard — here's exactly how Prytive detects, redacts, and logs sensitive AI activity across your organization.
Install the Chrome Extension
Add Prytive to Chrome in under 60 seconds. No IT approval needed for the pilot. The extension runs entirely in your browser — no VPN, no proxy, no network changes.
Use ChatGPT as normal
Your employees continue using ChatGPT (or other supported AI tools) exactly as before. There is no change to their workflow — Prytive operates silently in the background.
Prytive detects sensitive content
Before each prompt is submitted, Prytive scans the text for PII (emails, phone numbers), financial identifiers (IBANs, salary data), and confidential keywords. Detection happens in under 1ms — imperceptible to the user.
Data is redacted locally
Sensitive values are replaced with anonymised placeholders before any data leaves the device. Emails become j***@domain.com, IBANs become GB29 **** **** **** 1234. The raw prompt text is never transmitted to Prytive's servers.
Audit log stored securely
The redacted record — timestamp, user identifier, risk level, and data categories — is stored in a Cloudflare D1 database. Each log entry is classified as low, medium, or high risk. High-risk events trigger an optional Slack alert.
Compliance team reviews the dashboard
Your DPO or security team logs into the Prytive dashboard to review all AI activity. Filter by risk level, export the full audit log for GDPR reviews, and track which data categories are being shared most frequently.
Technical architecture
Prytive is built on Cloudflare's edge infrastructure — no servers to manage, no databases to maintain.

Frequently asked questions
Does Prytive slow down ChatGPT?
No. Detection and redaction are synchronous JavaScript operations that complete in under 1ms. The user experience is unchanged.
Does Prytive see my employees' prompts?
No. Redaction happens on the device before any data is sent to Prytive. We only receive anonymised, pattern-replaced placeholders — never the original content.
Which browsers are supported?
Currently Google Chrome and Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave). A Firefox extension is on the roadmap.
Which AI tools does Prytive support?
ChatGPT (chatgpt.com) is fully supported. Support for Gemini, Copilot, and Claude is in development.
Does the extension require admin rights to install?
No. Any user can install a Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. For managed enterprise deployments, the extension can be force-installed via Google Admin.
Where is audit data stored?
All data is stored in Cloudflare D1 (SQLite), which runs within Cloudflare's global network. You can request a specific region for data residency compliance.
