Common mistakes

  • 1Relying on auto-capture without configuring suppression rules, inadvertently collecting sensitive form data
  • 2Not reviewing captured data fields to identify unintended personal data collection
  • 3Treating Heap as equivalent to explicitly instrumented analytics when its auto-capture collects significantly more data

Compliance considerations

Auto-captures all user interactions by default, which means it collects more data than explicitly instrumented analytics tools. This broad data collection increases privacy risk — sensitive form field values, page content, and user inputs may be captured. Requires analytics consent at minimum. Configure data suppression rules for sensitive elements.
