Understanding Data Privacy

PeopleSoft Data Privacy Framework provide pages for identifying and maintaining Personally Identifiable and sensitive information. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is any information that directly or indirectly helps to determine the identity of an individual. A common example for PII is a person's name. Examples for sensitive information include Ethnicity or Compensation Rate. PeopleSoft captures many data elements that can be considered PII, Sensitive or both.

The framework helps in the following ways

• Maintain Category/Classification setup data and their Data Privacy attributes

• Maintain Data Privacy Attributes for PeopleSoft Application Record Fields that store Sensitive and Personally Identifiable data

• Generate and View references for Components at Record Field Level and Component Record Field level.
