## Guides by Use Case

[

### 🎭 Masking Data

Anonymize PII and sensitive data for non-production environments while preserving data utility and relationships.

- Mask specific column types (email, SSN, credit cards)
- 35+ built-in transformers
- Preserve referential integrity
- Incremental masking support



](https://docs.synthesized.io/tdk/latest/user_guide/020_guides/masking_data/index.html)[

### ✨ Generating Data

Create realistic synthetic test data that preserves statistical distributions and referential integrity.

- Categorical, numerical, and temporal generators
- Custom distributions and probabilities
- Maintain foreign key relationships
- Generate millions of rows



](https://docs.synthesized.io/tdk/latest/user_guide/020_guides/generating_data/index.html)[

### ✂️ Subsetting Data

Extract 10%, 25%, or 50% of production data for development and testing while maintaining referential integrity.

- Filter by date, ID range, or custom conditions
- Preserve foreign key relationships
- Combine with masking
- Target specific tables



](https://docs.synthesized.io/tdk/latest/user_guide/020_guides/subsetting_data/index.html)
