The Omnifact Privacy Filter™ automatically protects sensitive information in your messages by filtering out personal details, company data, and other private content before it reaches external models. While this filtering keeps your data secure, there may be times when you need to share specific details to get a meaningful response.

That’s where Click to Reveal comes in - it gives you control over filtered information in your messages, allowing you to selectively share specific details with the AI when needed for your task, while maintaining privacy for everything else.

When to Use Click to Reveal

The Privacy Filter automatically protects potentially sensitive information, but sometimes you may need to reveal specific details to get a meaningful response:

  • When the filtered information is non-sensitive but required for the AI to provide a useful answer
    • Example: “Can you help me understand what [COMPANY_1] does based on their website content?”
  • When asking specific questions about a person, organization, or other filtered entity
    • Example: “What is [PERSON_1]’s role and responsibilities based on the org chart?”
  • When the context of your question depends on the exact details that were filtered
    • Example: “What industry regulations apply to [ORGANIZATION_1] given their business type?”

Only reveal information if it is not sensitive. Consider whether you would be comfortable sharing this information on a public platform like Google or Facebook. Remember that revealing information means sending it to an external AI model.

Best Practices for Revealing Information

​
When to Reveal Information

Necessary for Task

Only reveal if the information is necessary for the AI to provide a helpful response and is non-sensitive

Non-Sensitive Context

When specific names or details are crucial for the task and you’re comfortable sharing them externally

Regulatory Compliance

Ensure revealing the information complies with your organization’s data handling policies and regulations

Limited Scope

Reveal only the specific information needed, keeping other sensitive details filtered

​
Deciding What to Reveal: A Simple Test

Before revealing any filtered information, ask yourself:

  1. Is this information non-sensitive? Would you be comfortable sharing this on a public website or search engine?
  2. Is this information necessary? Can the AI provide a helpful answer without knowing this specific detail? For example:
    • “Research who’s the CEO of [COMPANY_1]” - Revealing needed since the company name is essential
    • “Summarize this meeting report from [COMPANY_1]” - No need to reveal since a summary can be generated without the company name
  3. Is revealing worth losing conversation history? Remember that revealing will reset subsequent messages.

Only proceed with revealing if you can answer “yes” to the first two questions and are comfortable with the third.
