At Skippership, privacy is not optional. It underpins every aspect of our tracking.
Our platform applies Privacy First principles, ensuring sensitive data is never logged by default.
How Skippership protects privacy
Skippership automatically masks sensitive data, including input fields, on-page emails, IP addresses, and long numerical values (such as credit card or phone numbers).
You can record user sessions without exposing private or personally identifiable information (PII).
If your site contains elements with sensitive data, Skippership still blocks their capture. You don’t need custom rules or additional APIs; masking is handled automatically within our system.
Personal data and legal compliance
Regulations governing the collection of personal data vary between countries.
If you’re uncertain about legal requirements for analytics in your region, consult a privacy expert.
Skippership minimizes the risk of collecting identifiable data, helping you stay compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws.
Should I inform my visitors?
If only anonymized, masked data is recorded (by default), you generally don’t need to notify users about session recording.
However, if your implementation involves collecting identifiable data through other means (for example, via forms or custom scripts), you may need to mention this in your site’s Privacy Policy.
A concise note such as “We use session analytics tools to improve user experience” is usually sufficient and encourages transparency.
Is session recording legal?
Yes. Recording website interactions with Skippership is entirely legal, similar to tools like Google Analytics or other user-tracking services.
Legality depends on whether personal data is recorded. As Skippership automatically masks such data, your recordings remain privacy-safe by default.
Skippership enables behavioral insights while upholding privacy, because strong analytics should never compromise trust.
