During this event you will learn about:
-How we handle schematization, obfuscation, and tokenization.
-How schematization, obfuscation, and tokenization work together in our schematization platform.
-The lessons we learned about managing PII at scale.
At Shopify, we analyze a variety of events from our buyers and merchants to improve their experience and the platform, and empower their decision making. These events are collected via Kafka and stored in our data warehouse at a rate of tens of billions of events per day. Historically, these events were collected by a variety of teams in an ad-hoc manner and lacked any guaranteed structure, leading to a variety of usability and maintainability issues, and difficulties with fulfilling data subject rights requests. To solve this problem, Shopify’s Security and Data Science & Engineering teams came together to create a new schematization platform, allowing us to easily manage Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to comply with regulations, such as European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
