We can't spy on you. Even if we wanted to.

This isn't a privacy policy full of legal loopholes. This is how GPTAnon actually works — in plain English. Private AI means your conversations are never stored, never linked to your identity, and never used to train AI models.

Your Question's Journey

  1. You type a question — It stays in your browser. We haven't seen anything yet.
  2. It gets anonymized — Your question is stripped of identifying information and routed through our anonymous proxy. The AI model that answers you has no idea who asked.
  3. The AI responds — The answer streams back to your browser. We don't store the question. We don't store the answer. We don't store the fact that it happened.
  4. You close the tab — It's gone. Not "marked for deletion in 90 days" gone. Actually gone.

The Technology Behind Private AI

MIT Tiptoe Private Search

When you search the web through GPTAnon, we use Tiptoe — a private information retrieval system developed at MIT CSAIL. It uses cryptographic techniques to ensure that no one (not us, not the search provider) can link a query to the person who made it. This is peer-reviewed research, not a marketing claim.

Anonymous API Routing

Every AI query goes through a single anonymized pipeline. The AI providers (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc.) see a request — but they can't tell if it came from you or anyone else. All requests look the same.

Local-Only Storage

If you choose to save a conversation, it's stored in your browser's local storage — on your device. We never have a copy. Clear your browser, it's gone.

ChatGPT vs GPTAnon

When you ask ChatGPT a question: your question is tied to your account, stored on their servers, potentially used for training, accessible to employees, subject to government requests, and retained for years. When you ask GPTAnon a question: your question is anonymized, sent to the AI, the answer is returned, and everything is deleted. Nothing to subpoena. Nothing to leak. Nothing to sell.

Who Private AI Is For

  • Professionals handling sensitive client information (lawyers, doctors, therapists, executives)
  • Journalists and researchers investigating sensitive topics
  • Privacy-conscious individuals who don't want their questions about health, finances, or relationships logged
  • Teams and businesses with data handling policies that prohibit sending information to third-party servers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does GPTAnon qualify as private AI? Yes — by design. Our server is a stateless routing layer. Messages pass through in memory, are forwarded to the AI provider, and the connection closes. No database write occurs.

Is anonymous AI the same as private AI? They overlap but aren't identical. Anonymous AI means your identity isn't known. Private AI means your conversation content isn't stored. GPTAnon provides both.

What if GPTAnon gets a legal request for my data? We'd comply — but we'd have nothing to provide. We don't have your conversations. You can't subpoena data that doesn't exist.
