Blind Mode: Protect Lead Contact Details While Agents Work Normally

Blind Mode is a security feature that hides sensitive lead contact information from agents, while still allowing them to make calls and send emails as usual.

Agents can work leads efficiently — without ever seeing the actual phone numbers or email addresses.


What Is Blind Mode?

Blind Mode prevents agents from viewing, copying, or editing lead contact details such as phone numbers and email addresses.

Behind the scenes, Myphoner securely handles the real contact data so calls and emails still work normally.

Typical use cases

  • GDPR / CCPA compliance requirements

  • High-turnover sales or call-center teams

  • Preventing contact list extraction or resale

  • Industry-specific data protection policies


What’s Hidden vs. What’s Visible

Hidden from Agents

Still Visible

Phone numbers (masked, e.g. +1 ********)

Lead name & identifiers

Email addresses (field name only)

Custom lead fields

Copy/paste of real contact data

Call history & notes

Editing phone/email fields

Dispositions & activity timeline

Who always sees full details
Account administrators and list managers always have access to the real contact information.


How Agents Experience Blind Mode

Viewing Leads

  • Phone numbers appear masked

  • Email fields display the column name (for example: “Email”)

  • Contact fields show as Protected information

Making Calls

  1. Agent clicks the masked phone number

  2. Myphoner dials the real number securely

  3. Call connects as normal

  4. The agent never sees the real number

Sending Emails

  • Button shows “Send to [Field Name]” instead of an email address

  • Email is routed to the correct recipient automatically

  • Replying works normally

What Agents Cannot Do

  • Copy or export phone numbers or emails

  • Edit phone or email fields

  • Reveal contact data using browser developer tools


How Administrators Configure Blind Mode

Blind Mode supports 3-level inheritance, giving you granular control.

Level

Location

Options

Account

Account Settings

On / Off

Client

Manage → Clients → Edit

Inherit / On / Off

List

Manage → Lists → Options

Inherit / On / Off

Resolution order

List → Client → Account

This lets you:

  • Enable Blind Mode account-wide

  • Disable it for specific trusted clients

  • Fine-tune protection per list


How Blind Mode Works (Technical Overview)

Calling Flow

  1. Page loads with an encrypted token (not the real number)

  2. Agent clicks to dial

  3. Server validates access and decrypts securely

  4. Call connects

  5. Tokens expire after 1 hour

If an agent sees “Session expired”, refreshing the page restores access.

Email Flow

  • Requires Gmail or Outlook OAuth integration

  • Email buttons reference the field name, not the address

  • Emails route correctly without exposing contact data


Security Notes & Limitations

What Blind Mode protects against

  • Casual data theft

  • Contact list scraping

  • Copy/paste extraction

  • Unauthorized edits

What it does not prevent

  • Screenshots

  • Database access by administrators

  • API access with valid credentials

Blind Mode is designed to reduce operational risk, not replace full internal security controls.
