Fides (Fideslang)
ID fides
pii
Fides is an open source privacy engineering platform from Ethyca. Its Fideslang language describes personal data with a hierarchical taxonomy of data categories, such as user.contact.email or user.government_id.passport_number, which teams attach to dataset fields to build data maps and to answer privacy requests. Fideslang is now maintained by IAB Tech Lab. Only leaf categories that denote one kind of value are mapped; broad branches such as user.contact or user.financial are not. The supported types cover only registry datatypes that match a documented type of the tool.
