Captured events are persisted and can be replayed by [resuming the stream](/browsers/telemetry/streaming#resuming-after-a-disconnect), so this sensitivity applies to the data at rest, not just the live stream. Treat captured telemetry - and anywhere you forward or store it - with the same care as the underlying content.

Some exposure is reduced for you automatically: input into sensitive fields such as passwords is suppressed (`interaction_key` isn't emitted for them, and `interaction_click` omits the element text). Beyond that, because selection is opt-in, the most effective control is to capture only the categories you need - enable `network`, `console`, `page`, `interaction`, or `screenshot` deliberately, and prefer the operational categories when you only need session health.

On update, a category list patches the current selection - categories you don't include keep their current state. To reset the selection instead, send `enabled: true` (it replaces the selection with the categories you provide, or the default set if you provide none); send `enabled: false` to turn telemetry off.

## Retention

Captured events are retained for 30 days, then expired. You can [stream](/browsers/telemetry/streaming) events live or pull them later for analysis within that window; after 30 days the events are no longer available.

## What's next

- [Categories](/browsers/telemetry/categories) - every category, what it captures, the default set, and cost characteristics.
