Obfuscating response data

Cloud API supports the ability to obfuscate data that is included in a response. Response data can be either nullified or masked.

• When response data is nullified, its value is returned as null.
• When response data is masked, a portion of its value is returned with placeholder characters, such as a tax ID being returned as "xxx-xx-1781".

The primary type of response data that is obfuscated is Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Insurers must comply with any data protection and privacy regulations of the jurisdictions in which they operate. For example, companies operating in the European Union must abide by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) within that jurisdiction. These regulations often specify that Personally Identifiable Information (PII) must be obfuscated.
