Zoho DataPrep supports exporting data to Microsoft Azure under cloud database category. Azure is a cloud computing platform operated by Microsoft that provides access, management, and development of applications and services.

3. If your data contains columns with personal data, you can choose to include or exclude some or all of them in the
PII columns
section.
You can also apply the necessary security methods below to protect your personal data column:
A. Data masking
Data masking hides original data with 'x' to protect personal information.
B. Data Tokenization
Data tokenization replaces each distinct value in your data with a random value. Hence the output is statistically identical to the original data.
C. None
You can select None if you do not want to use any security method.
