Saklam is software for masking personal data before using AI services. Masking follows a Zero Knowledge principle: Saklam Bridge runs entirely within the customer's infrastructure (on-premises). Detection, masking, and un-masking take place locally in the customer's system; our servers receive no content.
Masking is performed by the saklam-pii library, which uses:
Important: Due to on-premises processing, your personal data never leaves the
customer's system in unmasked form. Personal data is replaced by placeholder tokens (e.g. [NAME_1], [EMAIL_1]) before being transmitted to an AI service.
When using Saklam, the following data may be collected:
Your data is processed based on the following legal grounds:
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits. These are:
Retention period: Server log files are automatically deleted after 7 days.
The core product of Saklam is masking personal data before transmission to AI services.
When using Saklam Bridge, the entire software — masking, un-masking, and the LLM gateway — runs as a Docker container inside the customer's infrastructure. We process no personal data in this setup: no content, masking mappings, logs, or telemetry are transmitted to our servers. The customer is the sole controller for any processing within Saklam Bridge; requests to AI providers are sent directly from the customer's system using the customer's own API keys.
For payment processing, we use Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., Dublin, Ireland). When purchasing a subscription, your payment data is processed directly by Stripe. We do not store any credit card or bank details ourselves.

On our demo pages (was-sieht-die-ki.de, piidetector.com) you can request a time- and volume-limited demo access to an AI chat. For this we process your email address (delivery of a one-time confirmation code and allocation of the demo quota), a confirmation code (stored as a hash only, valid for 10 minutes) and a demo access key (budget/time limitation). Chat content itself is masked in your browser before it reaches an AI model; we do not store chat content.
If you additionally consented to receiving product information (separate checkbox), we also process your email address for that purpose; you can revoke this consent at any time (an email to hello@saklam.com suffices).
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (provision of the demo access); for product information Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). Retention: demo access data is deleted no later than 12 months after the demo access expires, unless consent for product information exists.
