# Data Import

You can import contact data into Marketing Cloud Engagement. You can also save and reuse import definitions that bring information into Contact Builder.

To ensure compliance with corporate privacy policies and government regulations, you can choose to mask or encrypt data. Masking prevents data from displaying to other Engagement users. Encryption encrypts all data stored in Engagement.

Contact your account executive for more information about enabling these features.
