A retail customer allows users to upload comments and product reviews.

To ensure user-uploaded comments and product reviews do not include sensitive data before publication, use the Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) API.

Enable DLP API:

Go to the Cloud Console and navigate to APIs & Services > Library.

Search for "Data Loss Prevention API" and enable it.

Configure DLP API:

Create an inspection template specifying the types of sensitive data to detect.

Set up de-identification templates if you want to redact or mask sensitive data.

Implement DLP in Application:

Use the Google Cloud DLP Client Library for the desired programming language.

Send the text data to the DLP API for inspection before saving or publishing.

from google.cloud import dlp_v2 dlp_client = dlp_v2.DlpServiceClient() parent = f"projects/{project_id}" item = {"value": "User comment text here"} inspect_config = {"info_types": [{"name": "PERSON_NAME"}, {"name": "CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER"}]} response = dlp_client.inspect_content(parent=parent, inspect_config=inspect_config, item=item)
