+## Migration
+
+### Migrating from `send_default_pii` to `data_collection`
+
+The new `data_collection` defaults collect more data than `send_default_pii` did. User identity, generative AI content, HTTP request/response bodies, and file paths are now on by default, and more HTTP headers and cookies are collected.
+
+If you wish to restrict data collection to roughly match the previous behaviour of `send_default_pii=False`, you can use the following configuration:
+
+```python
+sentry_sdk.init(
+    data_collection={
+        "user_info": False,
+        "http_bodies": [],
+        "graphql": {
+            "document": False,
+            "variables": False,
+        },
+        "gen_ai": {
+            "inputs": False,
+            "outputs": False,
+        },
+        "mcp": {
+            "inputs": False,
+            "outputs": False,
+        },
+        "database_query_data": False,
