Session Recording Privacy

Session Recording provides privacy controls to ensure customers of any scale do not expose sensitive or personal information.

Privacy controls are provided to protect end user privacy & prevent from sensitive data being collected ensuring confidentiality by masking sensitive elements from being recorded through RUM browser SDK.

When data is masked, the data is not collected in its original form by Middleware SDK & thus prevents data being sent to the Middleware backend.

Configuration

Mask Inputs

By default, maskAllInputs is set to true, where most form fields such as inputs, text areas, and checkbox values are masked while recording replacing inputs with asterisks (***).

recordingOptions: {
 maskAllInputs: true,
}

Masked data is not stored on Middleware servers.

Mask All

To mask all text use the maskTextSelector parameter in combination with maskAllInputs. This will mask all HTML texts, inputs, labels, paragraphs, spans, links, etc. with the provided character.

recordingOptions: {
 maskTextSelector: "*",
 maskAllInputs: true,
}

Mask None

Records everything unmasked.

recordingOptions: {
 maskAllInputs: false,
}
