GDPR! Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in Sitecore xConnect.

With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) about to go into effect on May 25th, you should be aware of what Personally Identifiable Information (PII) could be stored in Sitecore 9 xConnect.

These fields are easily identifiable if you have installed Sitecore Data Exchange Framework 2.0+ and the xConnect Provider (provides the ability to read and write data to the collection and reference data services of Sitecore xConnect).

Once installed simply navigate to Sitecore -> System -> Settings -> Data Exchange -> Providers -> xConnect -> Collection Models -> Default ->  Default Collection Model to view the xConnect Data Model:

xConnectModel

You can see from the screenshot I’ve selected the facet property Firstname – it has a different template from most of the other facet properties – a PII Facet Property template.  It also has a different icon distinguishing it from other facet properties. Making PII (Personally Identifiable Information) fields easier to identify in the xConnect collections model.
