> Data ceases to be personal when it is made anonymous, and an individual is no longer identifiable. But for data to be truly anonymized, the anonymization must be irreversible.
Examples of PII:
A cookie ID.
Internet Protocol (IP) address
Location data (for example, the location data from a mobile phone).
The advertising identifier of your phone.
A tvid is personally identifiable.
- charcircuit 5y agoNo, a TVID identifies a TV, not a person. Multiple people can use a TV. You can sell that TV to others. The TVID will be the same.
- fnord123 5y agoThis is the official EU legislation explaining what constitutes PII: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679&from=EN https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL... > (30) Natural persons may be associated with *online identifiers provided by their devices*, applications, tools and protocols, such as internet protocol addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as radio frequency identification tags. This may leave traces which, in particular when combined with unique identifiers and other information received by the servers, may be used to create profiles of the natural persons and identify them. Device Identifiers explicitly covered as a definition of GDPR. Further, IPs are also shared if you are behind an ipv4 gateway and these are also covered.
- charcircuit 5y agoThe difference is that the TV manufacturer has to clue who owns a specific tvid. The whole point of personable identifiable information is that you can use it to find the identity of someone. There is no registry somewhere that keeps track of this.
