Configure an anonymization policy to specify which techniques are used when
anonymizing your data.

## Vorbereitungen

The data privacy configuration defines tables, `sys_user` and other, and columns to the de-identified, depending on the use case and specifies parameterized types of the techniques to be used while de-identifying
data.  
Hinweis:  
To complete a privacy configuration, you must first configure a data privacy technique configuration. See [Create anonymization techniques](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/lw9bz~brh9zXl47wCKHPJg "Create a data privacy technique configuration to customize how data privacy anonymizes your data.") for more information.

Role required: data_privacy_admin and admin

## Prozedur

1. Elevate to the data_privacy_admin role.  
   For details on role elevation, see [Elevate to a privileged role](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/QSMW4UNBg6bevZDKAPGT2Q "The base system admin can elevate to a privileged role to have access to the features of High Security Settings.").
2. Navigate to System SecurityData PrivacyAnonymization.  
   All anonymization policies display. Published policies are available to schedule the anonymization job.
3. Select Create new policy.
4. Select to either anonymize Data tables or columns, User specific data, Catalog variable, or Real time data.

   | Data Type | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Data tables or columns | Records that match the data policy will be anonymized. |
   | User specific data | Select a set of users or user groups to be anonymized. |
   | Catalog variable | Anonymize sensitive data stored in catalog item variables and form fields. |
   | Real time data | Anonymize real time entries for a set of columns. |

   Data privacy policies can only apply to classified data, for more information on data classification, see [Data classification](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/6MbHL3kbHWhPzPexrEsgXA "Group data by type, using pre-defined or user-defined data classifications. If you have an assigned data classification administrator or auditor role, you can administer different data classes or visually analyze the current state of different types of data within the instance.").
5. Select Create.  
   There are sequential steps required to complete the policy. You must Define details and Assign techniques. Select user reference is also required when defining the policy for user specific data.  
   For catalog variables, you will Define details and select the scope (either Service catalog request or Record producer), then review the Data pattern anonymization.  
   Hinweis:  
   Data pattern anonymization uses the information currently in the active data pattern table.
6. Define the details for the new anonymization policy.  
   * Enter the policy name in the Name field, and the policy description in the Description field.
   * Define what channels automatically activate the policy and the channel priority in Activation Channels
   * In the Data Class field, select the data class to use with this policy.
   * Turn on or off real time data anonymization.

   {#dps-create-anonymization-policies__ul_w2g_rrc_dwb}  
   Hinweis:  
   If you are not anonymizing an entry, select the DoNothing technique rather than leaving the entry empty. Policies with empty values in the Privacy Technique Configuration field cannot execute when used in data privacy jobs.
7. Select Continue to move to the next configuration step.
