Data privacy overview

The Overview homepage is a starting point to manage your data and data privacy compliance.

The Overview dashboard reports the current state of data classifications and anonymization jobs within your instance. You can view your data with the Overview dashboard to see how much data can be classified, the data classes available, the amount of data in each class, and more.

Note: Some classified data is broken into different categories. Selecting a sub-category in any chart will add or remove the category from the overall chart and adjust the counts.
