License plates themselves are not PII.
They are publicly available data. If the license plate is associated with OTHER PII it becomes a problem. However reading your license plate on the way into and out of a garage is just reading a publicly available code at different times of day. The fact that that code must always be displayed on your vehicle, and can be tied to your identity is an issue, but the code itself doesn't constitute PII.
- theptip 3y agoYou’re making a blanket statement here which sounds like a first-principles argument, but in reality it’s nuanced. It seems under GDPR license plate numbers are considered personal data. Not sure about CCPA/CPRA.
