We do GDPR-compliant reporting by using differential privacy to provably remove PII.

"PII" in the context of GDPR...?
>> remove PII
PII isn't a GDPR term
Personal data is though, and the two terms have relatively similar meanings.
US data privacy terms are US data privacy terms, not GDPR terms.

It's sloppy use of language by someone who works in the sector.

And businesses wanting to be compliant with GDPR should not be misled with US PII terminology

Your sentence reads weird, like if you're missing some key words or context.
"Differential privacy" is the technology they are referring to. Their English is fine, you're the one missing something.
I mean, English is not my first language, so there is that.
