There are several approaches to considering tags on user data. One of the most prevalent tags is PII
, which refers to personal information fields (often columns in tables/views). This enables Atlan to disguise data. For example, Atlan can hash, nullify, or redact PII-tagged column data.
Use right to be forgotten (RTBF)
as a tag if you need to be GDPR-compliant.
If there are schemas/tables with data on users/customers that need to be cleaned up on a regular basis, this tag might serve as a label for them as well as power any cleanup tasks you would want to do at source.
