- ExpressAI ensures that no one can collect or access user data
- Confidential computing enclaves isolate AI interactions from all infrastructure and vendor access.
- Users can run the same message on multiple LLMs simultaneously
Artificial intelligence is increasingly used for tasks that involve sensitive personal and professional information.
ExpressVPN has announced ExpressAI, an artificial intelligence platform that it says is based on a single principle: no user data should be collected.
The company ties this principle directly to its long-standing VPN architecture, including its enterprise VPN services, where traffic is designed to remain inaccessible even to the provider itself.
Concerns about data handling and company justification
ExpressAI is designed as an extension of that same approach to conversational AI and file-based interactions.
“With ExpressAI, ExpressVPN is effectively extending its long-standing stance on protecting traffic to AI interactions: the best way to protect user data is to not collect it in the first place,” said Shay Peretz, COO of ExpressVPN.
The goal is to offer AI functionality without requiring users to trade privacy for convenience.
ExpressVPN maintains that many users already rely on AI tools for personal matters that would normally require confidentiality.
“People are already turning to AI for high-stakes personal conversations, from health questions to financial decisions. Whether you’re accessing a bank account online or discussing private matters with a professional, you expect strong privacy protections. But those protections don’t automatically carry over to everyday AI chats,” said Shay Peretz, COO of ExpressVPN.
“That gap has left many users uncomfortable about how their data is handled. ExpressAI was created to eliminate that fear entirely, proving that private, trusted AI is not a future promise, it’s available today.”
Therefore, no one can access the user’s prompts and files, including company staff or infrastructure operators.
It relies on confidential computer enclaves, a technical method that isolates data during processing.
This ensures that conversations can only be decrypted within a cryptographically protected environment that is separate from the host system.
User input is not reused for training and uploaded files are processed in memory rather than stored on servers.
The platform supports various LLM options, allowing users to choose different models based on their needs.
A comparative view allows you to run the same message on multiple models at once, showing different results without merging the data.
The platform will be available soon through a standalone web app and is included in existing ExpressVPN subscriptions, with additional features reserved for higher tiers.
