# 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>

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
