# AnonymizeProcessor

Mask personal data before it reaches the destination (the web app's
Anonymize step).

Type: object

Fields typed as another model are documented on that model's page; fetch it before filling the field.

| Field | Type | Required | Description | Allowed values / default / constraints |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | [AnonymizeMode](https://dev-api.sheetgo.com/rest/reference/models/AnonymizeMode.md) | no | `automatic`: personal data is detected (Google DLP, on Sheetgo's account) and hashed. `custom`: you choose a method per column. Not combinable today with `ai`, `filter` or `remove_duplicates` (features incompatible in the engine) — see Processor combinations. | default: `"custom"` |
| `columns` | object with values of [AnonymizeMethod](https://dev-api.sheetgo.com/rest/reference/models/AnonymizeMethod.md), nullable | no | Custom mode only: column LETTER (`A`, `B`, …) → method: salted_hash, hash, nullify, redact, partial_email, partial_start (first 2 characters + ***), partial_end (*** + last 4), generalization (numbers grouped into ranges). |  |
