SCSCategory


@interface SCSCategory : NSObject

A SCSCategory represents an individual data category within a data category group. Categories form a tree hierarchy, where an individual category has one parent category (with the exception of a root-level category, which does not have a parent), and it may have multiple child categories.

Refer to SCSCategoryGroup for a representation of a data category group.
