Content looks good to me 👍
Will updating the other pages that mention sendDefaultPi be covered in a separate PR?
Let me know if I can support you with that.

I updated the "Data Collected" page as well now: https://sentry-docs-git-sig-datacollection-option.sentry.dev/platforms/javascript/guides/nextjs/data-management/data-collected/ I also changed all code snippets that contained |

| You can control many of the categories listed here with the <PlatformLink to="/configuration/options/#dataCollection">`dataCollection` option</PlatformLink>, which lets you opt in or out of each data category individually. The <PlatformLink to="/configuration/options/#sendDefaultPii">`sendDefaultPii` option</PlatformLink> is still supported, but deprecated as of version `10.54.0`. | ||

| How much the SDK collects by default depends on which option you use. Without `dataCollection` (and with `sendDefaultPii` unset or `false`), the SDK collects conservatively, and the defaults described on this page apply. As soon as you pass a `dataCollection` object, the categories you don't set explicitly fall back to their `dataCollection` defaults, which are more permissive. For example, cookies, query parameters (with sensitive values scrubbed), and AI message content are then collected unless you opt out. Setting `sendDefaultPii: true` is equivalent to enabling all `dataCollection` categories. If both are set, `sendDefaultPii` is ignored. |
