IANAL but

   For the purposes of this Regulation:
   (1)
   ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person

   — Clause 26 of GPDR [0]. 

Whereas I would point out the directly or indirectly part, the latter of which happened here.
