Question 1

What does Siftmurmur detect, and what still needs a human review?

Accepted Answer

Siftmurmur looks for email addresses, phone numbers, URLs, recognizable API keys and JWTs, and valid card, SSN, IBAN, IP-address, and passport patterns. You can add custom rules for the things your work knows best. It is a first pass: it cannot promise to catch contextual, indirect, or otherwise unrecognized sensitive meaning. Read the result yourself before sharing and keep, change, or add redactions as needed.

Question 2

Where does the source text live?

Accepted Answer

Text sent for a quick scrub remains only in that request. A saved draft keeps its sourceText in the private owner or workspace record, separate from sanitizedText. Deleting the original removes access to that source text. When you share, Siftmurmur stores the scrubbed snapshot for the link; it does not export the original.

Question 3

What does a safe AI share link do?

Accepted Answer

A share link exposes the scrubbed snapshot to whoever can reach the link, optionally protected by a passphrase. Choose an expiry of 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or never, and optionally set a view cap. The owner can revoke or rotate a link. Expiry or revocation makes the link unavailable.

Question 4

How do redactions appear in a redacted AI conversation export?

Accepted Answer

Replacements such as [email removed] and [secret removed], plus manual [REDACTED] or block masks, remain in the scrubbed representation. Markdown, plain text, and JSON all derive from that sanitized text. JSON also marks redacted messages and lists the markers used. The original source text is never implied or included in an export.

Question 5

Who can read a shared or saved conversation?

Accepted Answer

Anyone holding a reachable share link can read the shared scrubbed copy, and they also need its passphrase when one is enabled. The owner and authorized workspace members can read a saved draft according to workspace access. A share owner can revoke the link at any time, but access belongs to the link and settings currently represented in the product—not to unlisted staff or other parties.
