For copyright there has to be a minimum amount of creativity involved before the law applies. Small snippets of PII would not overcome that hurdle but these small pieces of PII are protected like you describe in the UK and the EU (GDPR).

The rights grante by the GDPR cannot be signed awy by a licensing agreement, but the can be overruled by other laws (e.g. mandatory retention times for tax purposes).
