How This Briefing Works
This dossier opens with key findings, then maps the gap between what Inspectlet discloses and what BLACKOUT observed at runtime. From there: what it means for your organization, what to do about it, and the detection evidence underneath. BLACKOUT observes runtime browser behavior and cites the regulations that address each pattern — legal determinations are your counsel's call.

Briefing
Session replay platform that records user interactions and syncs data across domains before consent. Captures mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, form inputs, and navigation patterns. Primary risk: session recording may capture sensitive personal data without consent, creating GDPR special category + privacy invasion liability.
What This Means For You
Product/UX teams gain user behavior insights but inherit session recording liability including potential sensitive data capture. Legal teams face triple violation: consent bypass + special category data processing + cross-domain data transfers. Compliance teams must defend recording user behavior (including competitor research, form inputs) to privacy regulators.
Risk Channel Breakdown
Limited analytics distortion - Inspectlet records for behavioral analysis not measurement manipulation.
Session replay enables detailed user behavior intelligence. Records competitor research patterns, feature exploration, pricing page engagement. Cross-domain syncing creates comprehensive visitor profiles across properties.
Expands attack surface
Three-layer consent violation: (1) loads before consent banner, (2) records sessions including potential sensitive data (form inputs, searches), (3) syncs replay data across domains. Creates compounded privacy + consent + data transfer liability.
