A third party I’ve never heard of capturing keystrokes? Suspicious to me.

- gcbirzan 5y agoHotjar is one of the biggest players in the market of tracking user interactions with the site. Now you've heard of them. Are they any more trustworthy?
- BTCOG 5y agoAgreed. Seems that some of the engineers commenting here work on projects in which they would have us believe a narrower description of what keylogging actually is, because they implement shady keylogging in their own products and need to feel better about it. If I don't press a submit button, and you are fielding my keystrokes into your database at any point, you are keylogging. I would not purposely use any product, or chat window, or form that I knew was submitting my keystrokes to their backend. If there is a button to send the form, only then should it be sending anything to your server. But this is hardly surprising these days with how entirely out of hand all the total data capture scope in products has been heading.
