# Privacy

By default, this instrumentation hides a wide range of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from session replays to protect user privacy:

# Record elements

By default, no DOM elements are recorded. To record the content of an element and its children, explicitly add the data-public property to the element. When this attribute is present, the content inside the element, including child elements, will be captured in the session replay:

<div data-public>
    This text will be visible in the session replay.
</div>

# Block elements

To prevent an element and its child elements from being recorded, use the data-private attribute.. This is especially useful when you want to selectively exclude sensitive parts of an element tree while allowing others to be captured.

<div data-public>
    <ul>
        <li>Page 1</li>
        <li>Page 2</li>
    </ul>
    <div data-private>
        This text will be not be visible in the session replay.
    </div>
</div>
