Personal data (while being what GDPR uses) is not as precise. Key is "identifiable". For example "likes french fries" is "personal data" in the general sense but not gdpr since it is not identifiable since you cant figure out who it is talking about. Your name, address, etc is identifiable because it can be tied to a physical person. |
