Personally Identifiable Information
PII (personally identifiable information) or SPI (sensitive personal information), as used in information security and privacy laws, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. PII is any data that could potentially identify a specific individual. Any information that can distinguish one person from another and can be used for de-anonymizing anonymous data can be considered PII. The application protects the sensitive PII data as per user access.
Note:
All PII is personal data, but not all personal data is PII.In Oracle Argus Safety, the following data is considered as PII:
- Patient Initials
- Patient Date of Birth
- Parent Initials
- Parent Date of Birth
The PII Data can be controlled via user group accesses and common profile switches. The user group accesses that can be used to control the PII data fields are:
- Case Patient - Patient Information
- Case Patient - Patient Details
- Case Patient - Parent Information
- Case Patient - Parent Details
These user groups accesses are found under Argus Console
> Access Management > Groups
.
In the Case Form, the patient and parent fields are grouped under the Information/Details sections as shown below.
Patient Information and Details Sections
Parent Information and Details Sections
The fields are controlled through the user groups as shown in the table below.
Group Access Name | Value | Case Form Behavior | Impacted Case Form Fields |
---|---|---|---|

Note:
The initials field is located under the Information sections, but still controlled through the Details access group.This default behavior can be overridden using a
set of common profile switches. The switches located at Argus Console >
System Configuration > System Management (Common Profile Switches) > Case
Processing > Group Data Access
are used for this purpose. These
switches help the Initials and Date of Birth fields to be controlled
via the alternate user groups as shown below.
