## How it works

+
After you [integrate the Analytics SDK and Signals SDK into your application](/docs/connections/auto-instrumentation/setup/), Segment begins to passively monitor user activity like button clicks, page navigation, and network data. Segment captures these events as "Signals" and sends them to your Auto-Instrumentation source in real time.

In Segment, the Auto-Instrumentation source lets you view raw signals. You can then [use this data to create detailed analytics events](/docs/connections/auto-instrumentation/configuration/) based on those signals, enriching your insights into user behavior and applicatino performance.

Auto-Instrumentation ensures that any personally identifiable information (PII) is removed from breadcrumbs before they get sent to Segment. No user data is visible to Segment.
