Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. It should be noted that this also applies if a person can be identified indirectly. Since May 25, 2018, the Federal Data Protection Act (Germany) and the GDPR (EU) apply. Both laws deal with data protection and privacy.
