Using Click to Reveal
Learn how to selectively reveal filtered information in your messages and when you should use it
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?”
- Example: “Can you help me understand what
- 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?”
- Example: “What is
- 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?”
- Example: “What industry regulations apply to
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:
- Is this information non-sensitive? Would you be comfortable sharing this on a public website or search engine?
- 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
- “Research who’s the CEO of
- 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.
