Configure a data privacy policy to specify which data privacy techniques are used when anonymizing your data.

Before you begin

The data privacy configuration defines tables, sys_user and other, and columns to the de-identified, depending on the use case and specifies parameterized types of the techniques to be used while de-identifying data.

Note: To complete a privacy configuration, you must first configure a data privacy technique configuration. See Create a data privacy technique configuration for more information.

Role required: data_privacy_admin and admin

Procedure

  1. Elevate to the data_privacy_admin role.

    • Apply when Cloning: This option becomes available. When selected, the privacy configuration executes during data privacy clone.
    • Application Order: A data privacy job for Postclone configuration with a higher Application Order might start before another job with lower order.
      Important: Avoid creating multiple data privacy policies with the same Application Order, as the resultant processing order for those with the same order will be inconsistent.
  7. (Optional) Select Supports Rollback to enable the ability to de-anonymize the data from a data privacy job.
    See Roll back a data privacy job for more information.
    After selecting Supports Rollback when creating a data privacy job, the option to roll back the job becomes available.
  8. Select the Privacy Classified Field Techniques tab to display the Privacy Classified Field Techniques list.
  9. Select an entry in the Table field to open the Privacy Technique Configuration field for each list entry.
    The Privacy Classified Field Techniques list displays all the data to be anonymized in your selected data class. For each of these entries, you must select a privacy technique to apply.
  10. Select a Privacy Technique Configuration to apply.
    Important: If you aren’t anonymizing an entry, select the DoNothing technique rather than leaving the entry empty. Policies with empty values in the Privacy Technique Configuration field can’t execute when used in data privacy jobs.
  11. Select Submit or Save to save the record.
