Data Protection

Your data never reaches the AI.

Nema uses automatic pseudonymization to replace sensitive entities before they leave your infrastructure. The AI works with placeholders — your real data stays with you.

Data Protection

Why pseudonymization?

Traditional AI tools process your data as-is. Nema takes a different approach: sensitive information is detected and replaced with consistent tokens before anything reaches the model.

  • Names, companies, and personal data are replaced before any API call to the AI model.
  • The AI delivers the same quality — it reasons about structure and context, not specific identifiers.
  • After the response, pseudonyms are mapped back to originals in your browser. The round-trip is invisible.
  • Custom entities let you protect internal terms that automated detection might miss.

How it works

Three steps, zero data exposure

Every message passes through a pseudonymization pipeline before it reaches the AI. The mapping is maintained per session, so the model can reason coherently across a conversation without ever seeing real data.

01

Detect

Your message is scanned for sensitive entities: names, companies, products, locations, and your custom terms.

02

Replace

Each entity gets a consistent pseudonym (e.g. PER_x7k2). The same entity always maps to the same token within a session.

03

Restore

After the AI responds, pseudonyms are mapped back to originals in your browser. Only you see the real data.

What the AI sees

···

The mapping lives in your browser. The AI model only processes the pseudonymized version.

Detected entity types

PERPersons — names, usernames, email addresses
ORGOrganizations — companies, teams, departments
PRDProducts — project names, services, tools
LOCLocations — cities, addresses, regions
CSTCustom — your manually defined entities

In short

Pseudonymization is not an opt-in afterthought — it is a core layer of how Nema processes data. When enabled, every message is cleaned before it leaves your infrastructure, and every response is restored transparently. The AI never sees the real thing.
