Deleting a saved personal or team query is permanent and irreversible. To delete a saved query, click the Delete button in the confirmation modal.

Vercel creates data points each time a request is made to your website. These data points include unique parameters such as execution time and bandwidth used.

Certain data points such as public_ip may be considered personal information under certain data protection laws. To hide IP addresses from your Monitoring queries:

  1. Go to the Vercel dashboard and ensure your team is selected in the scope selector.
  2. Go to the Settings tab and navigate to Security & Privacy.
  3. Under IP Address Visibility, toggle the switch next to off so the text reads IP addresses are hidden in your Monitoring queries..

For business purposes, such as DDoS mitigation, Vercel will still collect IP addresses.
