Does Shield send my data to the cloud to classify it?
No. Pattern matching and the neural classifier run on the workstation through the desktop app, browser extension, and local gateway. Billing Manager receives license, policy, and audit metadata, not the content that was inspected.
How does Shield relate to MemQ?
Shield is the guard in front of the write. When an agent saves context through a Shield-protected MCP path, Shield classifies and redacts the payload before it reaches MemQ. MemQ then applies its own server-side redaction gate on flagged writes and on anything promoted to shared knowledge. Shield’s local gateway runs today; a native Shield-to-MemQ policy handshake is planned.
Can a redaction be reversed?
Redaction receipts are encrypted and reversible only on the device that produced them, by an authorized user. The AI provider and MemQ never receive the original value.
Which AI tools does the browser extension cover?
The extension hooks into the major assistant surfaces teams use in the browser, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. Coverage for a specific tool is confirmed during rollout.
