PII filter
How MeinGPT replaces personal data with placeholders before every request to an AI model, and where your data is processed
The PII filter detects personal data on MeinGPT's own servers in Germany and replaces it with placeholders before a request reaches an AI model. The answer shows the real values again. As a workspace admin, you decide what is protected.
You write: Reply to Erika Mustermann about her complaint.
The AI model sees: Reply to [PERSON_W_1] about her complaint.
You read: Dear Ms Mustermann, thank you for …How the filter works in detail, what admins configure and where its limits are is described under Privacy filter.
What the filter gives you
- Every request to a language model is protected, on the server, for EU and non-EU models, in chat, assistants, projects, workflows and through the API.
- Detection stays in Germany. Our rules and an open-source detection model that we run ourselves operate on MeinGPT's own servers in a data center in Germany (Hetzner, Falkenstein). Your text goes to no other provider for it.
- You decide what is protected: protection level, categories, terms, custom identifiers, and which teams may switch the filter off per chat.
Where your data is processed
Independently of the filter:
- With DPA 2.0, all AI models in MeinGPT run in the EU. Models outside the EU are replaced by EU models when you sign.
- Without DPA 2.0, models that process data outside the EU are marked in the model picker. You decide which models your workspace may use through model enablement.
You find your DPA under Settings → Contracts & DPA.
Requesting the filter
The PII filter is available on request from 1 November 2026, and MeinGPT enables it per workspace. It is billed as a monthly base fee, whose amount depends on the size of your workspace and is set in your offer, plus €1.50 per 1M tokens (input and output) the filter processed, on top of the model price and charged to your credit balance. In measuring mode, where the filter only checks along, no token price applies. While it is not active, Settings → PII filter shows where your data is processed, and Get in touch writes to us directly. You can also reach us at enterprise@meingpt.com.
The previous browser filter is gone
The earlier PII filter checked requests in the browser, and only for models outside the EU. It has been removed; the levels Warning only, Filter – flexible and Filter – strict no longer exist, and no warning dialog appears before sending. If your workspace used Filter – flexible or Filter – strict, the PII filter page shows a notice. Get in touch and we will switch your workspace to the new filter.
