How can a data catalog help with data privacy?

A data catalog can help with data privacy by providing a comprehensive inventory of all the data assets within an organization. This includes detailed information about each dataset, including its sensitivity level, location, and access permissions. This information can be used to ensure that sensitive data is only accessible to authorized users and that appropriate security measures are in place to protect it. A data catalog can also help organizations to simplify compliance with data privacy regulations by providing a clear understanding of what data they have, where it is stored, and who has access to it.

What is PII?

PII stands for Personally Identifiable Information. It refers to any information that can be used to identify a specific individual, such as name, address, phone number, or email address. PII is treated as anonymized data because it is sensitive and requires special protection to ensure data privacy.

What is GDPR?

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It is a data privacy regulation that was implemented in the European Union in 2018. GDPR sets forth rules for how organizations must handle and protect personal data, including requirements for obtaining consent, providing access to personal data, and reporting data breaches.
