The always
encrypted
AI service.

With Privatemode, you can finally use generative AI without having to worry about data privacy and security.

The concept of Privatemode

Use AI without the security and privacy worries.

Privatemode is an AI service like ChatGPT—but with one critical difference: your data stays private.

Using confidential computing, Privatemode encrypts your data before it leaves your device and keeps it protected even during AI processing. This ensures that your information remains secure at all times.

For individuals.
And for developers.

End-to-end encryption

With confidential computing, your data remains encrypted at all times - during transfer, storage, and during processing in main memory.

Certificate icon

End-to-end attestation

The Privatemode app and proxy verify the integrity of the Privatemode service based on hardware-issued cryptographic certificates.

Shield icon

Advanced zero-trust architecture

The Privatemode service is architected to prevent any external party from accessing your data, including even Edgeless Systems.

EU icon

Hosted in the EU

The Privatemode service is hosted in top-tier data centers in the European Union. More locations are coming soon.

Your data can't and won't be used for training.

The confidential computing-based architecture of Privatemode ensures that the employed AI model can technically not remember your data and cannot be re-trained on it. The architecture also keeps everyone else out—including us.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Privatemode more secure than other AI services?

Privatemode uses a technology called confidential computing to protect your data at all times—even while it's being processed by the AI.

Privatemode is designed in a way that ensures no one can access your data, including Edgeless Systems, the company behind Privatemode, and the cloud provider that the Privatemode backend runs on.

Which AI models does Privatemode provide?

Privatemode currently uses a "quantized" version of Meta's Llama v3.3 with 70B parameters. The option to choose between models will be added over time.

Will the AI learn from my data or remember it?

No. Privatemode's architecture ensures that the employed AI model can never learn from your data or remember it in any form.

How can the AI process my data if my data is "always encrypted"?

Privatemode is built around a technology called confidential computing. With it, data can not only be kept encrypted during storage and transmission, but also during processing in main memory.

The CPU and GPU hardware that is running the Privatemode AI model in the backend is able to selectively decrypt your data into its internal structures. These internal structures are inaccessible from the outside. In fact, from the outside, it looks as if the hardware was processing encrypted data.

Even highly privileged attackers like sysadmins or data-center employees will only ever see encrypted data.

Why do I need to download an app to use Privatemode?

The Privatemode app verifies the integrity of the Privatemode service before sending any data, using a mechanism called remote attestation. The app also encrypts all data before transmitting it to the service. These tasks cannot be performed efficiently within a browser.

Will there be a mobile app?

Yes, apps for iPhone and Android will launch soon.
