Security & Privacy
Trust is the foundation of everything we do. We've built UserView with security and privacy at its core, ensuring your data is protected at every step of your customer support journey.
Security Philosophy & Culture
Security isn't an afterthought—it's built into our DNA
Security at UserView isn't an add-on—it's the foundation. Every feature is designed, built, and run with a security-first mindset, reinforced by continuous employee training, strict data-governance, and industry-standard frameworks.
Trusted by hundreds of support and sales teams—including in highly regulated sectors—our cobrowsing platform consistently meets or exceeds the toughest data-protection requirements to safeguard your information and earn your confidence.
Data Protection & Privacy
Your data is encrypted, minimized, and controlled with military-grade security
Smart Data Masking
Our intelligent data masking technology automatically identifies sensitive information like SSNs and credit card data, while giving you complete control to mask any form input or page section you choose. Whatever you mask never touches our servers.
Automatically Masked Data
- • Social Security Numbers (SSNs)
- • Credit card numbers and CVV codes
Custom Masking Options
- • Any form input or field
- • Entire page sections or elements
- • CSS selector-based targeting
Configuration Methods
- • Dashboard configuration for easy setup
- • Direct code implementation for maintainability
- • Audit trail for masking configuration changes
🔒 Security Guarantee: Masked data never reaches our servers
Encryption Standards
- • In Transit: TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data transmission
- • At Rest: AES-256 encryption for stored data
- • End-to-End: Complete encryption pipeline from browser to server
- • Role-Based Access: Granular permissions for team members
- • Data Masking: Automatic hiding of sensitive information
