Form Privacy and UX Monitoring Profile View

Form Privacy in Germain UX provides built-in rules to automatically protect sensitive form input fields during session replays. It ensures user-entered data (like credit card info, free-text inputs, etc.) is masked or excluded by default for privacy and compliance. Once privacy settings (like masking, anonymization, or exclusion) are configured, you can validate them by reviewing active session recordings. This step ensures that sensitive data is correctly hidden or excluded from UX session replays.

Form Privacy

Default Rules

• Masked Elements:

  • <input>, <textarea>, <select>, <option>, <datalist>, [contenteditable]

  • <input autocomplete="cc-*">

• Excluded Elements:

  • <input type="checkbox">

  • <input type="radio">

• During Initial Deployment – Form Privacy can be enabled at first setup.

• Later Management via Analytics UI:

• Go to Analytics > UX Monitoring Profiles

• Select the relevant profile (e.g., reactjs2)

• Scroll to the Session Replay Exclusions section

Active Sessions

Once privacy settings (like masking, anonymization, or exclusion) are configured, you can validate them by reviewing active session recordings. This step ensures that sensitive data is correctly hidden or excluded from UX session replays.

 Process: Viewing Active Sessions

1. Go to the Germain Workspace.

2. Navigate to Germain > Sessions.

3. Open and review session recordings.

4. Verify that sensitive data (e.g., emails, credit card inputs) is:

   • Masked (e.g., shown as ***)

   • Anonymized (hashed)

Or completely excluded from the replay.
