Where Domains Are Used​

Domains may appear in:

  • Text de-identification requests.
  • Proprietary transform output requests.
  • File de-identification form fields.
  • Python SDK Guardian Layer helper methods.

Example:

{
  "text": "Please contact Maria Chen at maria@example.com.",
  "domain": "General",
  "masking_type": "transform",
  "pii_entities": ["ALL"]
}

Notes​

  • The dashboard may default to General.
  • If you are unsure which domain to use, choose General.
