Another thing to consider is that in many PII laws, data which can be combined with other data to reconstruct a complete instance of PII will itself count as PII.

So if a full hostname or IP counts as PII, then a _partial_ hostname or IP also counts.

This logic seems to suggest that ‘a’ is my PII, because you can get ‘aasasd’ from it if you throw the dice enough times.
