[Princh Administration Panel - How to guides](https://support.princh.com/en/how-to-use-princh?hsLang=en#princh-administration-panel-how-to-guides) # How to mask document titles on print jobs ## To increase the users data and privacy protection, Princh offers the optional 'Document Title Masking' feature. This feature will allow only the first five characters of the document title to be displayed in the Princh Administration Panel. The remaining characters in the document title will be masked. If the document has a format extension like ".pdf", it will still be visible. Be aware that documents printed before activation will not be masked. Similarly, if you later deactivate this feature, previously masked documents will remain masked. 1. Log in to the [Princh Administration Panel](http://admp.princh.com) as admin. 2. Go to the "Locations and Printers" tab. 3. Click on the blue "Edit" button for the printer you want to activate this on. 4. Scroll down to "Printer Privacy Settings". 5. Activate the feature named "Mask document titles". ![](https://support.princh.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png.png?width=670&height=208&name=image-png.png) • If you, in the Princh Admin panel, choose to anonymize document titles on a printer, the original, unmasked title will NEVER be stored in our database. The anonymization is not just superficial - we simply replace everything other than the first characters and extension with “\*” without storing the overwritten characters. Therefore, the anonymization cannot be undone by us or our subprocessors/sub-sub-processors. • If you, in the Princh Admin panel, choose not to anonymize document titles on a printer (this must be actively selected for new printers, as privacy-by-default is implemented), then the anonymization will still take place after a week. In this case, the original title is stored in our database for 7 days, after which it is automatically permanently deleted from the database. After 7 days, neither we nor our subprocessors/sub-sub-processors can undo the anonymization. This gives you, as the Data Controller under our DPA, the option to either accept or fully eliminate the risk associated with storing the data in question on infrastructure that is processed and hosted entirely within the European Union   -
