Snowflake now classifies your sensitive data into the following categories when it finds information related to the European Union:

  • DRIVERS_LICENSE

  • NATIONAL_IDENTIFIER

  • PASSPORT

  • PAYMENT_CARD

  • TAX_IDENTIFIER

With these new native categories, Snowflake can automatically identify which data is subject to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
