Personal data

Any information that relates to an identified or identifiable person.

Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable person — for example a name, an email address, a location, an online identifier, or any detail that, alone or combined with others, can single you out. It is the information that data-protection rights such as access and erasure are designed to cover.
