'Personal data' is any information that relates to an identifiable living person; whether they are identified directly or indirectly by reference to a name, identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

For the purposes of data protection legislation the term 'personal data' also includes:

  • personal information that has been pseudonymised or key-coded (depending on how difficult it is to attribute the pseudonym to an individual)
  • genetic data and biometric data where processed to uniquely identify an individual ('sensitive personal data' or 'special categories of personal data')

Non-personal data

Personal data doesn't include information relating to deceased people, groups or communities of people, organisations or businesses, nor to data relating to criminal convictions and offences.

However, similar safeguards apply to data processing in those fields.
