6. Security Measures
SessionSight implements and maintains the following technical and organizational security measures to protect Personal Data. These measures are designed to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing.
6.1 Encryption
- All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher.
- Data at rest is encrypted at the infrastructure storage layer using AES-256 or equivalent. This is disk-level encryption that protects against physical media theft or unauthorized volume access. It does not constitute field-level encryption of individual data values.
6.2 Access Controls
- Access to Personal Data is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.
- Separate authentication mechanisms are enforced for dashboard access and programmatic API access.
- All API inputs are validated and sanitized before processing.
6.3 Data Isolation
- Customer data is logically isolated using company-level and property-level scoping to ensure that each Customer’s data is accessible only to that Customer and only within the appropriate property context.
- Cross-tenant data access is prevented at the application layer through mandatory scoping on all data queries.
6.4 Data Retention and Deletion
- Automated data retention policies ensure that Personal Data is not stored longer than necessary for the purposes of processing.
- Data retention periods are determined by Customer’s subscription plan tier, as described in our Privacy Policy.
- Deletion processes ensure that data is permanently removed from all active systems within the configured retention period.
6.5 Privacy by Design
- The SessionSight SDK uses first-party cookies only. No third-party tracking cookies are set.
- Personally identifiable information is sanitized from error reporting and diagnostic data before transmission.
- Form field values are excluded from session recordings by default. Only field metadata (such as whether a field contains a value) is captured. Password fields are never recorded.
6.6 Infrastructure Security
- SessionSight infrastructure is hosted on cloud providers that maintain industry-recognized security certifications.
- Network security controls are in place, including but not limited to web application firewalls, DDoS protection, VPC networking, and firewall rules.
