Obfuscate user data with Session Replay default privacy settings
Datadog's Session Replay feature enables businesses to analyze user behavior on their websites while ensuring sensitive data is protected through configurable privacy settings. These settings include three obfuscation options - allow, mask-user-input, and mask - which can be configured on a per-page basis. By default, all user inputs are masked using the mask-user-input setting, but this can be modified to obscure more or fewer elements as needed. Privacy settings are inheritable, allowing for granular control over data obfuscation. The three options cater to different use cases: "mask" obfuscates all text and input fields; "mask-user-input" only hides user inputs in form fields; and "allow" keeps all text visible on pages without sensitive data or requiring logins. Session Replay privacy settings help businesses maintain security and compliance while gaining insights into user behavior.
