Personal Information
The concept of personal information is the gateway to the application of the basic data protection regulation and is defined in Art. 4 para. 1 no. 1DSGVO, which defines it as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Data subjects are identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics which reveal the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of these natural persons. In practice, therefore, this includes all data which are or can be attributed in any way to a person. (Linked page in German.)
