# Manage sensitive information

Syntho helps you manage and govern sensitive columns. It provides discovery and de-identification for sensitive entities, including credit card numbers, names, locations, social security numbers, phone numbers, and financial data. The sensitivity scanner is a starting point, not an exhaustive assessment.

All columns marked as **Sensitive** appear in the **Main hub**. Adjust them in **Main hub** or **Table view**. Use the table selection menu to browse highlighted sensitive entities by table.

The following articles describe how to manage sensitive data:

<table data-card-size="large" data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th data-hidden></th><th data-hidden></th><th data-hidden data-card-target data-type="content-ref"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Free text de-identification</strong></td><td></td><td></td><td><a href="/configure-a-data-generation-job/configure-column-settings/duplicate/automatic-pii-discovery-and-de-identification-in-free-text-columns.md">Free text de-identification</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Supported sensitivity entities</strong></td><td></td><td></td><td><a href="/configure-a-data-generation-job/manage-personally-identifiable-information-pii/supported-pii-entities.md">Supported sensitivity entities</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.syntho.ai/configure-a-data-generation-job/manage-personally-identifiable-information-pii.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
