To create a Privacy Hold, first create a Privacy Hold Reason record. Then link the Privacy Hold Reason record to your Privacy Hold record. Privacy Hold can be activated for the Account, Contact, Individual, Lead, and Person Account objects.
When you create a Data Management policy in Privacy Center, include a condition to exclude records with active Privacy Hold statuses from processing. This condition prevents important records from deletion or masking actions by your policies.
