By default, all nodes are assumed to be sensitive, and only nodes that does not have PII (Personally Identifiable Information - sensitive data such as email addresses, credit card numbers, passwords, etc...) should be marked as non-sensitive; a good rule of thumb is to mark as non-sensitive nodes whose value were statically set from resources.

Notice that the content of even sensitive nodes are sent to the service (through the AutofillService.onSaveRequest(android.service.autofill.SaveRequest, android.service.autofill.SaveCallback) call) when the user consented to save thedata, so it is important to set the content of sensitive nodes as well, but mark them as sensitive.

sensitive boolean
