# Test Replay now redacts sensitive network data before upload

**[cypress](https://daily.dev/sources/cypress)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Test Replay now automatically redacts sensitive network values like authorization and credential-like data before uploading logs to Cypress Cloud. Redaction is on by default and can be disabled per project in settings. Timing, status codes, and request structure remain visible so debugging context is preserved; the full list of redacted fields is documented in the Test Replay redaction docs.

## Questions this post answers

### Does Cypress Test Replay redact sensitive data from network logs before uploading to Cypress Cloud?

Yes, Test Replay automatically redacts authorization and credential-like values from captured network logs before that data reaches Cypress Cloud. Each redacted value shows as (redacted) in the network log, while timing, status codes, and request structure remain visible for debugging. Redaction is enabled by default but can be turned off per project in project settings.

_Teams weighing whether to re-enable Test Replay after privacy concerns can track feature updates like this on daily.dev._

### Who can view Test Replay data and network logs in Cypress Cloud?

Test Replay data, including network logs, is visible to everyone with access to the project. In a private project, only invited organization members with the required team roles can see it; in a public project, any Cloud user can view the runs and Test Replay data. Redaction reduces what sensitive values appear in that visible data, separate from access control settings.

_Developers managing test visibility and access controls can follow tooling changes like this on daily.dev._
