AI API Gateway Data Privacy
Protect user data in AI systems with comprehensive privacy controls. Implement PII detection, data anonymization, encryption, and privacy-by-design principles for GDPR and CCPA compliance.
Privacy Features
Comprehensive data protection capabilities.
PII Detection
Automatically identify sensitive information like names, emails, SSNs, and credit card numbers in API requests.
Data Anonymization
Replace PII with pseudonyms or tokens before sending to AI providers. Maintain referential integrity.
End-to-End Encryption
Encrypt sensitive data from client through gateway to AI provider. Zero-knowledge processing possible.
Consent Management
Track and enforce user consent preferences. Honor opt-out requests across all data processing.
Audit Logging
Comprehensive logs of all data access and processing. Support for regulatory audits and investigations.
Retention Policies
Automated data lifecycle management. Delete or anonymize data when retention periods expire.
Privacy Techniques
Methods for protecting sensitive data in AI systems.
Tokenization
Replace sensitive values with non-reversible tokens.
Masking
Partially obscure sensitive information.
Generalization
Replace specific values with ranges or categories.
Noise Addition
Add random noise for differential privacy.
Implementation Guide
Build privacy-aware AI gateway systems.
