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 uses device fingerprinting instead of cookies, making it more privacy-friendly and GDPR-compliant.

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:

// 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:

<script
  defer
  data-api-key="YOUR_API_KEY"
  data-respect-do-not-track="true"
  src="https://www.eventda.sh/tracker.js"
></script>
Anonymous Session IDs
Privacy-friendly session tracking

EventDash uses device fingerprinting to create anonymous session IDs. No cookies are required, and the fingerprinting is based on:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Screen resolution
  • Timezone
  • Language settings

This information is combined to create a unique but anonymous identifier that cannot be used to identify individual users.

GDPR Compliance

EventDash is designed with GDPR compliance in mind:

  • No personal data collection by default
  • Anonymous session tracking
  • Automatic PII filtering
  • Do Not Track support
  • No cookies required
  • Data minimization principles
