PrivaSearch or TalkWithData?

TalkWithData builds knowledge bases and puts them to work in your AI assistant, through a browser extension, its own chatbot or an API. Like PrivaSearch, it detects personal data. The difference: with TalkWithData you choose per knowledge base whether that data is masked, and with PrivaSearch it is always replaced by pseudonyms and a person releases every document.

PrivaSearch

Your own client files, safely searchable from the AI assistant you already use.

€175 a month for the whole firm, up to 15 employees

TalkWithData

Knowledge bases for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other assistants, or for your own website.

Free for one knowledge base; Team €49 per user a month

Go to the TalkWithData website

In short

Three differences that matter.

  1. TalkWithData detects personal data on ingestion and lets you choose per knowledge base: mask, refuse or allow. With PrivaSearch pseudonymisation is the fixed first step, with a mandatory review by a person.
  2. TalkWithData works through a browser extension on top of the assistant and with its own chatbot for your website. PrivaSearch connects Claude, ChatGPT Business or Mistral Vibe to your pseudonymised files through an MCP connection.
  3. TalkWithData charges per user. PrivaSearch costs €175 or €350 a month for the whole firm.

Topic PrivaSearch TalkWithData
What the AI model gets to see Only passages in which names, addresses, numbers and other personal data have been replaced by pseudonyms, and only after a person has approved the privacy review. The link to the original stays in a vault and does not go along. For a question, the passages TalkWithData considers relevant, not the whole archive. Personal data is detected on ingestion and, if you set it per knowledge base, masked or refused. The site mentions no check by a person.
The GDPR Designed for the GDPR: less data to the model, a mandatory review, a log of every action, plus the AI policy, the DPIA starter document and the entry for your record of processing activities. A data processing agreement with an annex for transfers and a public list of sub-processors. TalkWithData says it adheres to the GDPR and mentions documentation for a DPIA.
Hosting EU-sovereign hosting: storage and processing with a European provider. The assistant you connect may be American; it only receives the pseudonymised passages. Storage on servers in the EU (the Netherlands and Germany, according to the site). The site names no provider. For the model you choose Mistral, GPT or Claude per chatbot.
The models The latest model from Claude, ChatGPT Business or Mistral Vibe. You choose the assistant and the model; when a new model comes out, you simply use it. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity and Mistral through the browser extension or the API. You choose the model per chatbot.
What's included Search in your client files, the privacy review, the AI policy, the DPIA, the AI training for every employee, the audit log and the connection with your assistant. Knowledge bases from files, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, websites and databases, more than a hundred connections to other tools, a chatbot for your website and an API.
The price €175 a month up to 15 employees, €350 up to 30. Per organisation, not per user; excl. VAT and the subscription to your assistant. Starter free for one knowledge base with fifty documents; Team €49 per user a month with a fourteen-day trial; Enterprise on request. The site does not say whether prices include VAT.

The latest models

You work with the best model there is.

PrivaSearch supplies the passages; the thinking is done by the model you choose in your assistant. A platform that hosts open models itself works with smaller models that arrive later. A platform that chooses for you does not always choose the most powerful one.
