Overview

This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to exclude Personally Identifiable Information (PII) fields from your reports.

Steps to remove sensitive data from your reports

1. While setting up data extraction, use the Labels filter to show only fields that are labeled as potentially containing PII.
2. Deselect them from your report by using the checkbox.

By removing these fields, you ensure they are not included in the final report.

Double-Check the Data

While the PII label is a helpful indicator, it is only a suggestion that the field may contain PII data. Always review the content of your data to ensure that no sensitive information is included, especially if the labeling is automated.

We recommend that you verify the nature of the data in each field to ensure compliance with the necessary regulations.

About hashing of PII fields

At this time, our platform does not support hashing of PII fields. The only option available for handling PII fields is blocking: meaning you must exclude these fields from your reports, and Improvado will not interact with them at any stage, including temporary files during the extraction process.
