Privacy & Security

Built-in privacy features and PII filtering to protect user data

PII Filtering

Automatically filters personally identifiable information like emails, phone numbers, SSNs, and credit card numbers from URLs and form data.

Do Not Track

Respects the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting. When enabled, EventDash will not track users who have DNT enabled.

No Cookies

EventDash stores an anonymous session ID in localStorage (not cookies). Device characteristics such as browser, OS, screen, timezone, and language are used to keep sessions stable. This is not used to identify a person.

PII Filtering

Automatic filtering of sensitive information

EventDash automatically filters the following types of PII from URLs and form data:

Email addresses
Phone numbers
Social Security Numbers (SSN)
Credit card numbers
Common sensitive URL parameters

Example:

javascript

// Original URL
https://example.com/login?email=user@example.com&token=abc123

// Filtered URL (sent to EventDash)
https://example.com/login?email=[FILTERED]&token=[FILTERED]

Do Not Track Support

Respect user privacy preferences

When a user has Do Not Track enabled in their browser, EventDash will automatically stop tracking. This is enabled by default but can be disabled:

html

<script
  defer
  data-api-key="YOUR_API_KEY"
  src="https://www.eventda.sh/tracker.js"
></script>

<!-- Opt out of DNT (not recommended) -->
<script
  defer
  data-api-key="YOUR_API_KEY"
  data-respect-do-not-track="false"
  src="https://www.eventda.sh/tracker.js"
></script>

Anonymous Session IDs

Privacy-friendly session tracking

EventDash uses anonymous session IDs stored in localStorage (not cookies). A device fingerprint is built from:

Browser type and version
Operating system
Screen resolution
Timezone
Language settings
Canvas and WebGL rendering hashes (not used to identify a person)

This information is combined to keep sessions stable. It is not linked to a login or used to identify an individual.
