# Controlling the data recorded by the Meticulous recorder

There are two main levers you have to control the data and sessions which are collected:

 1. [Controlling when recording starts and stops](/docs/session-recording/controlling-when-recording-starts-and-stops): Meticulous provides an API to control when you start and stop recording a session. This allows you, for example, to only record for certain users, or certain users when visiting certain pages etc.
 2. [Custom redaction](/docs/session-recording/redaction): You can provide custom logic to redact/filter data before it leaves the browser and gets sent to Meticulous.
