Encryption of data in client-side applications

Hello,

We have recently started using amplitude for tracking our Web and mobile platforms.

An issue we encountered when implementing the client-side libraries is that it's not possible to encrypt fields before sending the events to Amplitude.

This means that all data we push to Amplitude from client-side libraries is available to the user. We wish to restrict this by using encryption as some fields we want available in Amplitude we consider private fields.

The idea is to have an encryption key set-up that we use to encrypt the data. That way the user cannot see the data we sent. Then when Amplitude receives the events, amplitude decrypts the data before saving it to the platform.

I understand it's also possible to use the server-side HTTP api, but that requires much more effort for implementation

Linking AI Feedback to Specific Surveys in Amplitude
It would be really helpful if Amplitude showed which survey a piece of feedback belongs to. Right now, it’s hard to tell where comments originate when multiple surveys are active. As a bonus, it would also be great if the feedback text matched the UI language (currently, mine shows in German).
playback video in 9:16 in guides on phones
It would be great to have the option of playing back video (and having the video preview) in a 9:16 (vertical) orientation so that an end user of a video in a guide didn't have to full-screen the video in order to have it play in the correct orientation. It would also be great to have support for Wistia as more and more…
Grouping reordering
Hi, I’d like to request a feature: it would be really helpful to have the ability to shuffle or reorder properties within an event, especially when grouping. Right now, adjusting the order of grouped outputs is quite cumbersome.
Fix the search when filtering
When changing a property value, because we often have complex and long values, we paste the exact value in the search bar. However the matching value will appear at the very top but all other values will remain, which makes the search complex and we lose a few seconds each time Here is a loom to show my point Thanks !!
