What are personal data?

Personal data are any information that relate to an identified or identifiable living individual. Different pieces of information which, collected together, can lead to the identification of a particular person also constitute personal data. Personal data that have been de-identified, encrypted or pseudonymised but can be used to re-identify a person remain personal data and fall within the scope of the GDPR. Personal data that have been rendered anonymous in such a way that the individual is not or no longer identifiable are no longer considered personal data. For data to be truly anonymised, anonymisation must be irreversible. The GDPR protects personal data regardless of the technology used for processing and storing these data.
