Cognos hides detected personal details before sending and uses approved AI providers for live answers in your chosen region." source: "https://cognos.io/" locale: "en-GB" --- # The AI you can finally tell everything. AI can be useful for your health, money and worries - exactly the things you may not want sitting in a readable history. Cognos saves your chats in a form we can't read. Before a live request goes to an approved AI provider, Cognos hides the personal details it detects. - No copy we can read - Kept in Switzerland or Europe - Never used to train AI ## Same question. Very different outcome. With most AI, privacy is a setting you hope you found. With Cognos, it's just how it works. ### A typical AI - Keeps your messages - often forever - Uses them to train its next model - Staff and contractors can read them - Can be handed over if a court asks - Stored who knows where ### Cognos - **Keeps no copy we can read** - **Never used to train AI** - **Only you can open your chats** - with your key - **Hides your personal details** before anything is sent - **Kept in Switzerland or Europe** - you choose ## Privacy isn't a setting here. It's how it's built. Four things happen every time you hit send - automatically, without you lifting a finger. - **1 · Your details get hidden**: Things like your email, bank details and ID are swapped for placeholders - before your message ever leaves your screen. - **2 · An approved AI answers**: Your message is readable while an approved AI provider processes the live request in your chosen region. Provider retention is disabled and checked before approval. - **3 · Your chat gets locked away**: We save your conversation in a form we can't read. No readable copy is ever kept. - **4 · Only you hold the key**: Your chats open with your key - a private key only you have. Your password just signs you in. ## Your details are hidden before the AI ever sees them. Type or paste anything. Cognos looks for things like emails, phone numbers, bank details and ID numbers and swaps detected values for placeholders before sending. Check the preview: detection is best-effort and may not find every sensitive value. The AI answers using the placeholders, and Cognos restores the real values for authorised viewers. Watch one message make the round trip: your details are hidden on the way out, and restored just for you on the way back. ## Privacy you can actually see Simple controls that keep your life your own. - **Nothing readable is kept**: We save chat content in a form we can't read. Account, billing and operational details are kept separately where needed to run the service. - **Your details, hidden automatically**: Cognos hides detected emails, bank details, ID numbers and passwords before sending. Check the preview because detection may not find everything. - **You pick where it's handled**: Keep everything in Switzerland, or open up to Europe for more AI models to choose from. - **Messages that delete themselves**: Set a timer and your chat disappears - from your device and from us. Gone means gone. - **Incognito mode**: Start a chat that's never saved. Close it, and there's nothing left behind. - **Your key, your data**: Only your key opens your chats. Forgot your password? Reset it - your chats stay safe. ## Pay for the AI. The privacy comes free. Two ways to pay. The same privacy either way. Not for you? Cancel anytime - and you can request a refund within 14 days. ### Pay as you go **CHF 15** / month minimum Only pay for what you use, from CHF 15 a month - anything above that is billed automatically. Most everyday chats cost just a few rappen. - Every chat gets the **full privacy treatment** - Self-deleting messages & incognito included - Switzerland or Europe, with dozens of AI models - CHF 15 minimum each billing month; usage above it is billed automatically ### Unlimited **CHF 150** / month or **CHF 1500 / year** - two months free. - **Unlimited chats**, across every AI model we offer - Stay in Switzerland whenever you want to - Keep your whole history - always private - Download or delete everything, anytime Prices in CHF, VAT added at checkout. ## You stay in control. No fine print. Here's exactly what we do - and don't do - with your chats. - **We keep no copy we can read**: Your chats are saved locked. We never keep a version we - or anyone else - can read. - **Never used to train AI**: Your words don't train anyone's model. Not ours, not the AI's.
