BigQuery offers robust capabilities for handling personally identifiable information (PII), such as dynamic data masking, which enables administrators to define rules for obscuring sensitive data at query time. This approach allows varying access levels based on user roles and data types, with options like nullification, SHA256 hashing, and default values for different data types. These features are crucial for compliance with data privacy regulations and for creating secure data environments, enhancing BigQuery's already comprehensive access control and encryption functionalities​.
