Doubly so when legal precedent exists that IP isn’t sufficient enough to identify a person.
- bulatb 8y agoCurrent guidance, although not definitive, is that IPs and similar identifiers are personal data iff the processor/controller can identify a natural person by combining them with other data it can legally access.
- bhaak 8y agoThere's also legal precedent that IPs can be sufficient enough to identify a person.
- wooter 8y agoand its absurd, rejected, and overturned. if i use your laptop, am i you?
- Dylan16807 8y agoMaybe not to a "reasonable doubt" threshold, but it's a pretty strong identifier.
- hannasanarion 8y agoNot to conclusively for all time identify a person, but that's not what we're talking about. It's still PII: personally identifiable information. Things that can be used to identify a person. A first and last name is also insufficient to identify a person, are you going to argue that names aren't personal?
