What is Data Privacy (PII)?
Data privacy protects personal information and defines how it is collected, used, and shared.
Technical detail
PII includes data that can identify a person, such as name, email, phone, and account details. AI workflows must control access, minimize unnecessary data use, and apply retention rules. Privacy practices should align with applicable regulations and customer commitments. Teams should document where personal data flows through automation.
Why it matters
- Reduces compliance and reputational risk.
- Builds trust with customers and partners.
- Improves internal governance for AI workflows.
- Prevents accidental over-collection of sensitive data.
Example
A support workflow masks personal identifiers before sending text to a model and stores only required output fields in downstream systems.
