{% hint style="info" %}

## **1. What is Data Obfuscation?** 

Many hesitate to adopt cloud services due to concerns about leaks of *sensitive/personal information (security issues)*. HEARTCOUNT offers a data obfuscation feature to ensure users can confidently analyze data online from anywhere.

## **2. Uploading Data to the Server after Obfuscation**

When saving a campaign, you can click on advanced settings to turn the obfuscation feature on/off. If set to obfuscation, only the obfuscated file, not the original one, is stored on the server.

Now, instead of uploading your original data that might raise security concerns, you can upload the obfuscated data and utilize HeartCount. You have the option to decide whether to store the obfuscated data in the current browser memory.
