Usage in Templates​

These InfoTypes are used in data protection templates to specify which types of sensitive data to detect. Here's an example of how to use them:

{
  "infoTypes": [
    {"name": "EMAIL_ADDRESS"},
    {"name": "PHONE_NUMBER"},
    {"name": "CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER"},
    {"name": "US_SOCIAL_SECURITY_NUMBER"}
  ]
}

Custom InfoTypes​

In addition to the built-in InfoTypes listed above, you can also create custom InfoTypes using:

  • Regular Expressions: Define custom patterns to detect specific data formats
  • Dictionary-based Detection: Use keyword lists to detect reserved or sensitive terms

Example of custom InfoTypes:

{
  "infoTypes": [
    {
      "name": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
      "regex": "sk-[a-zA-Z0-9]{48}"
    },
    {
      "name": "RESERVED_KEYWORD",
      "dictionary": {
        "wordList": ["confidential", "secret", "private", "classified", "restricted"]
      }
    }
  ]
}
