# Privacy and access

Review data handling, redaction, and access requirements before you enable Agent Observability or send agent data.

- [PII and secrets redaction](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/privacy-and-access/pii-and-secrets-redaction): Remove sensitive content and review redaction coverage and limits.
- [Data handling and privacy](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/privacy-and-access/privacy): Review collected data, capture controls, retention, data residency, and where LLM judge inference runs.
- [Security and access controls](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/privacy-and-access/security): Review tenant isolation, authentication, roles, and permissions.
- [CLI usage statistics](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/privacy-and-access/agento11y-cli-usage-statistics): Review what the CLI reports and how to inspect or disable reporting.

For EU-hosted stacks, Agent Observability data storage and Grafana-operated LLM judge inference stay within the EU/EEA. For regional details, refer to [Data handling and privacy](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/privacy-and-access/privacy).

To configure request controls, refer to [Protect agents](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/protect-agents).
