Data Minimisation for LLM Prompts: Stop Sending PII by Habit

Sending Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in LLM prompts is a risky habit. Learn how to minimise data and protect privacy with simple techniques. Fusion Lot can help.

The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) has become increasingly widespread, but we often overlook the risk of inadvertently sending Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in prompts. This practice can expose sensitive information and lead to serious security concerns. Data minimisation is crucial for protecting privacy and ensuring GDPR compliance.

What is Data Minimisation?

Data minimisation is the principle of collecting and processing only the data that is strictly necessary for a specific purpose. When using LLMs, this means including only the information that is truly needed to achieve the desired outcome in your prompts. Avoid including unnecessary personal data.

  • Anonymisation: Remove or replace personal data with anonymous identifiers before sending the prompt.
  • Aggregation: Use aggregated data instead of individual records whenever possible.
  • Filtering: Filter the data before sending the prompt and remove any unnecessary information.
