Learn how to create data privacy techniques and policies, and how to create and execute
data privacy jobs.

## Data privacy techniques {#data-privacy-config__section_zzf_qfv_hrb}

Data privacy techniques are options you select to determine how your data is anonymized. You
must create a data privacy technique to reference in the data privacy job. See [Create a data privacy technique configuration](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/X39YYCZnzeCuBFYT7u7kaw "Create a data privacy technique configuration to customize how data privacy anonymizes your data.") to associate a privacy technique to an associated
Privacy technique configuration.

## Data privacy policies {#data-privacy-config__section_x5f_qmt_g5b}

Configure a data privacy policy to specify which data privacy techniques are used when
anonymizing your data. See [Create a data privacy policy](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/uwgPWAXmP33cyaqVwr79YQ "Configure a data privacy policy to specify which data privacy techniques are used when anonymizing your data.") for details.

## Data privacy jobs {#data-privacy-config__section_uz4_4z1_3rb}

Data privacy jobs use all of these components to anonymize your data. For more information on
these jobs, see [Configure a data privacy job](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/lksYTR1MneXKLU_IQQgZDA "Configure a data privacy job on your production instance to use anonymized data on your non-production instance for user and data class jobs.").
