# Data privacy \(Classic\) configuration

Learn how to create data privacy techniques and policies, and how to create and execute data privacy jobs.

## Data privacy techniques

Data privacy techniques are options you select to determine how your data is anonymized. You must create a data privacy technique to reference in the data privacy job. See [Create a data privacy technique configuration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-security/data-privacy-classic/config-dp-technique.md) to associate a privacy technique to an associated **Privacy technique configuration**.

## Data privacy policies

Configure a data privacy policy to specify which data privacy techniques are used when anonymizing your data. See [Create a data privacy policy](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-security/data-privacy-classic/config-dp-policy.md) for details.

## Data privacy jobs

Data privacy jobs use all of these components to anonymize your data. For more information on these jobs, see [Configure a data privacy job](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-security/data-privacy-classic/config-data-privacy-job.md).
