No, personal data in GDPR is much wider than American PII definition.
- veave 3y agoMaybe so, but stuff you post on public forums is not PII, neither by the American nor the European definition.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoSomething similar happens with HIPAA that people don’t understand. Personal Health Information is only applicable in a specific setting (a covered entity). You telling your boss/friend/form about your health information does not make it PHI. You willingly disclosed that information.m, it loses its protected status.
