How it works...

By specifying the DataClassification property for the table and the fields within the table, we have now made our application compliant with data privacy regulations. There are multiple classifications that can be applied to data:

• CustomerContent: Content created by users of the system
• EndUserIdentifiableInformation: Data that can be used to identify an end user (for example, username and IP address)
• AccountData: Data that is part of a customer's billing and payment information (for example, name, address, and email)
• EndUsePseudonymousIdentifiers: An identifier that can be used in conjunction with other information to identify an end user (for example, user GUID and user SID)
• OrganizationIdentifiableInformation: Data that can be used to find a tenant (for example, Tenant ID).
• SystemMetadata: Data generated by the system that cannot be linked to a user or tenant
