Personal Data Information
Personal data, per GDPR regulations, means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (a data subject). The principles of data protection do not apply to anonymous information or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is no longer identifiable. To determine whether a natural person is identifiable, account should be taken of all the means reasonably likely to be used, such as singling out, either by the data controller or by another person to identify the natural person directly or indirectly.
