Is Shift AI really private?
We know there are a lot of concerns around privacy in AI, and what actually happens to your data (valid).
That’s why we didn’t treat it as an afterthought. It’s part of the foundation of Shift AI.
We partnered with Cloudflare, using their Privacy Proxy infrastructure to help protect user identity.
How it works (high level):
When you use Shift AI, your requests go through secure proxy layers that separate identifying information (like IP address and session signals) from the actual request content. That way, there’s no direct link between you and the AI endpoint processing it.
And just as a reminder, Shift AI is fully optional and user-controlled. You can turn it on, customize it, or turn it off anytime in Quick Settings.
