Sensitive Context
Ordinary tracking becomes materially riskier inside logged-in account pages, where courts recognize a heightened expectation of privacy.
Same pixel. Different page. Different exposure.
A pixel on a marketing page and the same pixel inside a customer portal are different risks. Account pages can carry account-level behavior, and visitors expect them to be private.
Health, financial and login pages raise severity most, which is why CyRisk records where on the site every behavior happens.

What CyRisk tracks.
Severity and placement are CyRisk defaults. Your team can elevate, downgrade or drop any risk to context-only, per account.
| RISK | DEFAULT SEVERITY | DEFAULT PLACEMENT |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel deployment within authenticated accounts | Critical | Critical to Bind |
| Input monitoring within authenticated accounts | Critical | Critical to Bind |
| Location tracking within authenticated accounts | High | May Affect Coverage |
Tracking, input monitoring or location access is observed specifically on authenticated pages, where privacy expectations are highest.
Remove advertising pixels and non-essential tracking from authenticated pages. If analytics are business-critical there, use server-side analytics that don’t send individual user data to advertising vendors.

Why are account pages treated differently?
Courts recognize a heightened expectation of privacy there, and the data involved is often tied to a known customer.
Which industries does this matter most for?
Healthcare, financial services, education and any business where customers log in to manage an account.
What’s the cleanest fix?
Keep advertising pixels off authenticated pages entirely and use server-side analytics where measurement is needed.

Severity and placement shown are CyRisk defaults and can be tuned per account. A detected exposure indicates a fact pattern common to privacy litigation, not a confirmed violation. Litigation theories explain why a finding is tracked; they are not legal advice.
