Log obfuscation is available as part of our [Data Plus option](/docs/accounts/accounts-billing/new-relic-one-pricing-billing/data-ingest-billing#data-prices).

## Overview [#overview]
## What is log obfuscation? [#overview]

After logs have been shipped to New Relic, sensitive information in the logs can be obfuscated before being stored in [NRDB](/docs/data-apis/get-started/nrdb-horsepower-under-hood/), our New Relic database, by using obfuscation rules.
Our [log management service](/docs/logs/get-started/get-started-log-management) automatically masks number patterns that we identify as likely being sensitive items, such as credit card numbrers or Social Security numbers. Additionally, with our log obfuscation feature, you can set up additional data privacy for other personally-identifiable information by defining your own custom obfuscation rules right from the log management UI.

Sensitive information might include personally-identifiable information such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, national IDs, or other data that you may be required by regulation to protect when stored.

You can define regular expressions matching your sensitive information, and then create rules to obfuscate that data. You can choose either to have sensitive information masked or hashed.
