Model context
Connect model metadata with resources in the PII registry so policy does not stop at raw tables.
Carry PII metadata through dbt models.
Chameleon uses dbt context to help privacy and data teams understand how customer-data policy follows warehouse transformations and derived models.
Derived identifiers
Track surrogate identifiers and aggregate-only handling where customer data changes shape through transformations.
Owner clarity
Make model ownership and policy status visible when a privacy review needs a data-team answer.
01 / Declare
Use dbt metadata as policy context for warehouse resources and transformations.
02 / Trace
Keep customer-data context attached as raw records become staging, intermediate, and mart models.
03 / Review
Flag policy warnings where derived identifiers or manual-review strategies need attention.
04 / Prove
Include model context in deletion proof workflows when a request touches transformed data.
