Background - What is personally identifiable information (PII)?

Any data that can be used to identify an individual is called personally identifiable information (PII). Any information that can be used to identify a person and can be used to anonymize previously unanonymized data is considered PII.

PII can be used in conjunction with other relevant data to identify a person. It may include direct identifiers such as passport information that can uniquely identify an individual or quasi-identifiers such as race that can be combined to recognize an individual.

Personal privacy, data privacy, security and data protection are all dependent on the protection of PII. Thieves can steal a person’s identity and create fake accounts, inflict debt, falsify a passport, or create fraudulent accounts using just a small amount of personal information.

It is becoming increasingly important to protect individual identities and any identifying information. PII is any information that can be used to identify individuals. This information could include:

1. - Name
2. - Address
3. - Email
4. - Telephone number
5. - Date of birth
6. - Passport number
7. - fingerprint
8. - Number of driver's licence
9. - Credit or debit card number
10. - Social security number
