https://calawyers.org/antitrust-unfair-competition-law/what-... > The CCPA definition of personal information can be best understood by analyzing separately each of the four closely intertwined building blocks embedded in it: (i) “information”; (ii) “that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked”; (iii) “directly or indirectly”; (iv) “with a particular consumer or household”. A comment would likely not meet those tests. A user login maybe - though that is already covered in the faqs - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html > Can I change my username? > Yes. Email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll help. Which could then dissociate you sufficiently to pass the tests ii through iv. That might work for me (my user name is relatively unique and consistent) while throwaway123456 may have difficulty passing any of those tests. |

The HN legal page ( linked at the footer of the site ) indicates that Y Combinator considers public submissions to HN (stories and comments) as a category of Personal Information.
