    has been deprecated and will be removed in TYPO3 v15.

The IP Anonymization task can take a more elaborate
configuration which is detailed below.

The task anonymizes the IP addresses to enforce the privacy of the persisted data.

Example: Configure additional tables for the "IP Anonymization" task
====================================================================

This entry configures that the field `private_ip` of table
`tx_myextension_my_table` can be anonymized after a chosen number of days.

The field `tstamp` will be taken into account to determine when the database
record was last changed.

Migration: Supporting custom tables for "IP Anonymization" tasks for both TYPO3 13 and 14
=========================================================================================

If your extension supports both TYPO3 13 (or below) and 14 keep the registration
of additional tables in the extensions :file:`ext_localconf.php` until support
for TYPO3 13 is removed:
