A: As with all user data that you submit to Sentry for processing on your behalf, you are responsible for providing appropriate notices to your users. How you choose to configure Session Replay and your own site or app will ultimately determine the contents and presentation of your user privacy notices.

**Q: Do I need to obtain consent from my users to use Session Replay?**
60+
61+
A: As with notices (see above), you need to consider whether or not you have to obtain user consent. In the U.S. in particular, we've noticed an [increase in lawsuits under U.S. state wiretapping laws](https://iapp.org/resources/article/us-litigation-series-website-tracking/) that involve session replay software. You should evaluate the risk based on your location, service, and customer type, and whether you want to mitigate the risk by obtaining consent from your users to collect data about their interaction with your services via Session Replay.

**Q: What should consent for Session Replay look like?**
64+
65+
A: Consent can take different forms, including using consent banners or similar technology, as well as consent incorporated into your terms of service with users. The type of consent you want to present (if any) is going to depend largely upon your assessment of the risks based on your location, service, and customers.

Here's an example of consent language:

> Provider may use and collect data and learnings about customer's use of the Provider service, including customer's behavior within the Provider service, such as clicks, scrolls, mouse movements, keystrokes, page refreshes, and other user session information to operate, improve, and support the Provider service and for other lawful business purposes.

**Q: How do I configure Sentry SDK's for Session Replay to be compatible with a consent banner?**
72+
73+
A: If you choose to utilize a consent banner, you can find [technical guidance](https://sentry.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/37358708239003-How-can-I-delay-replay-recording-until-a-user-consents) to configure Session Replay SDKs to initiate only after user consent is obtained.
