Step 6: Select redaction for the data element. It is applicable only for serverside tagging. Basically, when you set up a data element as sensitive, and set up a strategy, the backend server will scramble it while using the data element in a tag or provider.
This data classification setting allows the serverside processing to apply a redaction strategy - like anonymize for email ID, IP address, phone number and so on.
Step 7: Click Save to save the changes.
