Can we use this to hash any data like email ID or Phone number or any personal short details to save safely in Database/Google Sheet, so others cannot read/understand the data?
Is it possible to use this hash code to get the actual data back?
No
A hash is only one way

Is there any 2 way alternative to send encrypted data to the database and to get back the original data again? The purpose is to increase the database content security.
I can correlate with bitcoin's blockchain technology. One way encryption (hash 256, I think).

And understand the difference between encryption and hashing
There is a fundamental difference between Hashing and Encryption algorithms, see this stackoverflow answer: Hashing is one way. You can not get your data/string from a hash code. Encryption is 2 way - you can decrypt again the encrypted string if you have the key with you.

No, I don't think so. It's cannot be decrypted but u can only verify
