PII identification

To overcome the concerns around data privacy and enable secure data sharing, YData SDK incorporates an automated Personal Identifiable Information (PII) identification engine to help detect and handle potential PII.

What can be considered Personal Identifiable Information (PII)?

PII is information that, when used alone or with other relevant data, can uniquely identify an individual. PII may contain direct indentifiers (e.g., ID, VAT, Credit Card Number) and/or quasi-identifiers (e.g., age, gender, race, occupation). Correctly classifying these is crucial to reduce the risk of re-identification. Learn more about how YData mitigates the risk of re-identification using synthetic data.

YData SDK offers a standardized classification of PII that automatically highlights and tags potential PII. The automatic detection of PII can be enabled when reading the data from a connector and can be leveraged to generate privacy-preserving synthetic data.
