DEFINITION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
According to the Act ‘‘personal information’’ means information relating to an identifiable, living, natural person, and where it is applicable, an identifiable, existing juristic person.
Generally speaking, personal information is any information that can be used to personally identify a natural or juristic person. This includes name, identity number, age and addresses, any information that may reasonably be used to identify a particular individual. Some examples of personal information are ID numbers, email addresses, phone numbers and physical addresses, ages and dates of birth, medical records, criminal records, financial information and employment history. Photos or video recordings that show individuals – whether in business or social settings – also constitute personal information. Information that’s about individuals, but that can’t possibly be used to identify them doesn’t qualify as personal information
