Learn more about GDPR.<\/a> GDPR is a piece of legislation in the EU that demands you have the consent of users before you record any of their personal data. This doesn’t mean all inputs from users are sensitive, but getting consent is something that you need to pay attention to when setting up a Website Testing or Session Recording study that could also collect personal information. After the visitor gives their consent, you pass it through our API, which enables recording. Getting user consent isn’t required in countries outside the EU, but we recommend it nevertheless. It’s good when users have control over how their personal data is being collected and processed.<\/p>\n\n\n
