# Deidentify Template

A Deidentify Template in Google Cloud is a reusable configuration that defines how sensitive data should be transformed or masked to protect privacy. It specifies de-identification methods such as tokenization, masking, or date shifting, and can be applied to multiple data sources through the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) API.
