Privacy by Design

How askaieu.com Protects Your Privacy

We built askaieu.com with a simple principle: your conversations with AI should be private. Here's exactly how we protect you.

Server-Side AI Proxy

All AI requests go through our secure European servers. AI providers never see your IP address, browser fingerprint, or device information.

PII Anonymization

Optionally auto-detect and replace personal identifiable information (names, IDs, phone numbers, emails) with tokens before sending to AI.

Private Web Search

When AI searches the web for you, it goes through our proxy. Search providers only see our server — never your identity.

EU Data Residency

Your data is stored in European data centers, protected by GDPR. We never sell or share your personal data.

The Proxy Model Explained

Unlike services that connect your browser directly to AI providers, we act as a privacy-preserving intermediary.

What AI providers see

  • Our server's IP address (not yours)
  • Your message content (optionally anonymized)
  • Our API credentials

What AI providers DON'T see

  • Your IP address or location
  • Your browser or device type
  • Cookies or session data
  • Browser fingerprint
  • Your identity

Private Web Search

When AI needs to search the web for current information, we protect your privacy the same way.

Typical AI Services

Your browser connects directly to search APIs, exposing your IP, location, and device fingerprint to third parties.

YouSearch Provider

askaieu.com

Our server searches on your behalf. Search providers (like Tavily) only see our server — never your identity.

Youaskaieu.comSearch Provider

What we send to search providers:

  • The search query (derived from your AI conversation)
  • Our API key for authentication

What we DO NOT send:

  • Your IP address
  • User-Agent or browser information
  • Cookies or session identifiers
  • Any device fingerprint data

Automatic PII Anonymization

Optional feature to detect and replace personal information before it reaches AI providers.

What you type

"My patient John Smith (BSN 123456789) called from +31 6 12345678 about his appointment on 15-03-2025."

Auto-anonymized

What AI receives

"My patient [NAME_001] (BSN [ID_001] ) called from [PHONE_001] about his appointment on [DATE_001] ."

PII types we detect:

Names
National IDs (BSN, SSN)
Phone numbers
Email addresses
Dates of birth
Postcodes & addresses

The mapping between tokens and real values stays in your browser memory only — it's never sent to any server. Enable this feature in Settings → Privacy Protection .

Zero Fingerprint Tracking

Around 25% of top websites use browser fingerprinting to track you. We don't.

What is browser fingerprinting?

A technique that creates a unique identifier by analyzing how your browser responds to certain requests — your screen size, installed fonts, browser plugins, timezone, and more. Even without cookies, websites can track you.

How we protect you

  • AI and search requests go through our server — providers can't fingerprint you
  • We don't collect or store fingerprint data
  • No third-party tracking scripts
  • Privacy-respecting analytics (Plausible) with no cookies

Types of fingerprinting we prevent:

Browser FingerprintingScreen size, fonts, plugins, canvas rendering
Device FingerprintingHardware specs, OS version, processor info
Network FingerprintingIP address, TCP/IP stack behavior, TLS handshake

Technical Implementation

For the technically curious, here's how it works under the hood.

Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

askaieu.com uses server-side rendering. Pages are generated on our secure EU servers, reducing client-side JavaScript execution and potential attack vectors.

API Key Protection

All AI provider API keys are stored server-side only. They're never exposed to your browser, preventing key theft or misuse.

HTTPS Everywhere

All connections are encrypted with TLS 1.3. We use HSTS to prevent downgrade attacks.

No Request Logging

We don't log your AI conversations or search queries. Only anonymized metadata (token counts, timestamps) for service operation.
