Launched: Private User Attributes

What's this blog post about?

LaunchDarkly introduces a new feature called Private User Attributes, allowing customers to control which user attribute fields are stored or exposed in different parts of the platform while collecting event data from feature flag evaluation. This helps protect sensitive information such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Customers can now selectively choose not to send back some or all user attributes without losing access to features like flag statuses, A/B testing, and attribute autocomplete. Private User Attributes can be configured in three different ways: marking all attributes private globally, marking specific attributes private by name globally, or marking specific attributes private by name for individual users when constructing LDUser objects.
