 Segment separates signal collection from event creation. Signals represent raw user interactions, like a button click or screen view. Events, on the other hand, are analytics calls you define based on those signals. This two-step process lets you observe user behavior first, and then decide how and when to turn that behavior into structured analytics events, without needing to modify your code.

-Values sent to the signals API are redacted by default.
-This adds a local storage key. To disable redaction, add a magic query string:
+User activity is not collected by default after SDK installation. To collect activity for use in building event rules, append the `segment_signals_debug=true` URL parameter.
