What are the personal data?
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. But because it concerns individuals, they must retain control of it.
A natural person can be identified:
directly (example: first and last name) ;
indirectly (e.g. by a telephone or license plate number, an identifier such as a social security number, a postal or e-mail address, but also by voice or image).
The identification of a natural person can be done :
from a single piece of data (example: name) ;
from the cross-referencing of a set of data (example: a woman living at such and such an address, born on such and such a day and a member of such and such an association).
