That isn't PII in the sense that it's protected at that point.
It's not PII when a police officer says your name and address. It's only protected health information when someone who is governed by medical privacy laws does it, like a nurse.
- notimetorelax 7y agoI have only seen PII interpreted as personally identifiable information. License numbers and names fall under this category.
- criley2 7y agoOh, if you're not talking about medical data, then yes, personal identifying information is everywhere in America society. Counties have public lists of property owners, states have public lists of business owners, almost all court proceedings have online dockets and public access, etc etc. Just take a walk to city hall or where the local area keeps records and you'll find PII on basically everyone who lives there.
- sneak 7y agoPII (personally identifiable information) != PHI ([legally] protected health information)
- vageli 7y agoI think you are referring to PHI not PII.
