Security architecture

Not "we promise not to look."
We are incapable of looking.

This page is for the skeptical. Every claim below is a property of the architecture: verifiable on your machine, not a policy that can change.

Detection never phones home
On-device detection

Two local ONNX models plus checksum-validated pattern matching run entirely on your machine (~70ms per message). Nothing is sent to the cloud to be "checked": the check is local.

Our servers meter tokens. They never see words.
Content-blind gateway

The gateway that proxies AI traffic cannot log message content: it is a compile error, not a policy. It sees only user, model, token counts and timestamp.

We cannot read what we store
Encryption at rest

Everything lives in an encrypted local database. Keys derive from a passphrase Amnesia AI® never sees; a Recovery Kit is issued at setup. No escrow, no back door: we cannot reset it, and that is the point.

When in doubt, it blocks
Fail-closed

On any error or ambiguity, Amnesia AI® blocks the send, tells you why, and records a receipt. It never falls through to sending unprotected data.

A tamper-evident audit trail
Receipts

Every send produces a hash-chained receipt: time, model, what was masked, state, hash. One click verifies the whole chain. Proof that every AI use was masked, for you, your firm, or an auditor.

Free export, forever
Exit rights

Encrypted export and import are free on every plan, with a standalone open verifier. Your data leaves with you, encrypted, whenever you want.

The cryptography, plainly

Key derivationArgon2id, from your passphrase, on-device. The derived key never leaves your machine.
EncryptionXChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption, per-column AEAD on top of SQLCipher.
Local databaseSQLCipher: the full database file is ciphertext at rest.
Audit trailHash-chained receipts; any tampering breaks the chain and is immediately visible.
Outbound integrityReview-first shows the exact payload with its hash. What you approve is byte-for-byte what is sent: unit-tested, not marketing.

SOC 2 / ISO 27001: readiness program underway. Amnesia AI® is built for professionals bound by GDPR, HIPAA and IRC §7216; it does not itself confer compliance or create attorney-client privilege.

Don't trust. Verify.

Watch the network trace. Run it offline. Check the receipt chain. The proof is on your machine.
