- 3Sending personal data in event properties when anonymous identifiers would suffice
Compliance considerations
Collects user events, session data, and optionally session recordings. Self-hosted deployments provide full data control. Cloud (US or EU) processes data on PostHog infrastructure. Session replay requires explicit consent. Event analytics require analytics consent. Feature flags may be functional. Configure distinct consent requirements for each feature set.
