# How can Sensay leverage external LLMs (like ChatGPT) while protecting sensitive data?

## Sensay acts as a secure wrapper around LLMs.

- **Grounding:** AI responses are based on your knowledge base, not raw models.
- **Controlled prompts:** Sensitive data sent securely and minimally.
- **No cross-training:** Data is not used to train external LLMs.
- **Deployment choice:** Open-source or API models can be isolated.

**In summary:** Sensay combines your private data with external LLMs safely, keeping control and compliance intact.
