To enable this feature for your account, contact us at **support@hackerearth.com**.* HackerEarth has always strived to provide fair and unbiased assessments. Therefore, to enhance the candidate experience and ensure fairness in tests or interviews, HackerEarth Assessment and live interviews now support the feature of hiding personally identifiable information of candidates from recruiters. We believe that any personal information of candidates is not a mandatory aspect to get selected for a job role. ### PII Personally identifiable information (PII) is any data that can be used to identify a specific individual. The common details that are considered as PII are name, social security numbers, mailing or email addresses, and phone numbers but technology has expanded the scope of PII considerably. Now, it can include IP addresses, login IDs, social media posts, digital images, geographical locations, biometric identifiers, and behavioral data. ### Diversity and Inclusion This feature is introduced to help you promote Diversity and Inclusion in your organization by using HackerEarth Assessment. Diversity and Inclusion allow you to implement strategies and practices to support a diverse workplace. These implementations can increase the productivity of your employees and increase the profit of your organization to succeed in the global marketplace. #### Diversity This feature allows you to practice workplace diversity where you can understand, accept, and value difference between people based on the following criteria: - Different races, ethnicities, genders, ages, religions, disabilities, and sexual orientations - Differences in education, personalities, skill sets, experiences, and knowledge bases #### Inclusion This feature allows you to create a collaborative, supportive, and respectful environment that increases the participation and contribution of all employees. ### Hiding PII To hide personally identifiable information of candidates, follow these steps: 1. Log in to your HackerEarth Assessment account by using your admin credentials. 2. Click ![mceclip0.png](https://help.hackerearth.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/mceclip0-Jan-30-2023-11-23-50-6839-AM.png). 3. In the **Company** section, click **Diversity and Inclusion**. 4. If you want to hide the candidate's PII from tests, then click the checkbox beside **Hide personal identifiable information (PII) from tests**. Or If you want to hide the candidate's PII from live interviews, then click the checkbox beside **Hide personal information (PII) from interviews**. ![mceclip1.png](https://help.hackerearth.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/mceclip1-Jan-30-2023-11-23-49-5204-AM.png) You have successfully enabled to hide personally identifiable information of candidates in all your tests and interviews.
