Remove personal info before using AI
Short answer: Remove any detail that identifies a person, place, account, client, or private event before sending text, photos, or PDFs to AI. Safemii helps you find and remove those details on your phone, so the AI receives the clean version instead of the original.
What counts as personal info?
- Names, faces, signatures, usernames, and profile photos.
- Emails, phone numbers, addresses, locations, and school or workplace names.
- ID numbers, card numbers, account numbers, order numbers, and case numbers.
- Hidden file details, such as photo GPS or PDF author data.
What to use instead
Replace details with plain placeholders: [name], [doctor], [client], [address], [account number], or [date]. The AI can still help with the writing or summary without seeing the real private data.
Examples by content type
Text
Replace names, phone numbers, emails, account IDs, and addresses with labels. Keep the sentence readable so the AI understands the task.
Photos
Remove GPS metadata and black out faces, screens, documents, license plates, house numbers, badges, and private background details.
PDFs
Remove visible private text and hidden data such as author fields, comments, form values, attachments, and document titles.
Screenshots
Cover notification bars, nearby messages, profile photos, tabs, balances, order numbers, and private URLs before upload.
What not to remove
Do not remove the context the AI needs to answer. If the question is about a lease clause, keep the clause but replace the names and addresses. If the question is about a bill, keep the categories and amounts if they matter, but remove account numbers, barcodes, and personal identifiers. The goal is useful anonymization, not deleting so much that the AI cannot understand the request.
Limitations
No cleanup tool can know every private detail in every context. A city name may be harmless in one prompt and sensitive in another. A school name may identify a child. A background screen may show confidential work. Safemii helps find common risks, but the final review should be done by the person sharing the file.
Safemii's role
Safemii is not an AI chat. It is the cleanup step before AI. It helps you prepare a safer copy of the thing you want to use, then you decide where to send it.
