How you protect Personally Identifiable Information?

The data or information that's used to uniquely identify a contact, or locate a person is called personally identifiable information (PII). Examples are social security number, addresses, bank account numbers, phone numbers, and so on.

This information is considered confidential and sensitive, and must be protected to prevent unauthorized use of personal information for the purposes of legal regulation, financial liability, and personal reputation. For example, only authorized users must be allowed access to the social security numbers of people stored in a system.

In Oracle Applications Cloud, the PII data is secured and can be accessed only by the following job roles with the exception of mobile phone data:

  • Sales Administrator

  • Enterprise Scheduler Job Application Identity for CRM

  • Oracle Data Integrator Application Identity for CRM

  • Web Services Application Identity for CRM

Mobile phone data is accessible to all seeded job roles. However, if access to mobile phone data is needed for custom job roles, the IT Security Manager must assign the required PII data policies to the custom job role in the Security Console. The IT Security Manager can also add data policies for other PII data to seeded job roles.

The following table lists the PII attributes that are secured in Oracle Applications Cloud.

Note: You can search privileges in Security Console using the Privilege Titles listed in the following table.
