GDPR, PIPL, and Why Local Token Analysis Matters

Sending prompts with PII to US-hosted LLMs creates compliance risk. Local-first tooling is the safest first step.

Data leaves your control fast

When a developer pastes a customer email, UK postcode, or Chinese national ID into ChatGPT for "quick debugging", that data may be processed in the US under a different legal framework than GDPR or PIPL expects.

Local-first is step one

Tokened counts tokens entirely in-browser — your prompt never touches our servers. Upcoming PII pre-check will flag sensitive patterns before you send anything upstream.

Gateway adds a compliance layer: intercept, redact, or block prompts containing regulated data before they cross borders.
