What exactly constitutes personal information under the law?
Personal information refers to any type of information, regardless of whether it is recorded in a material form or not. It inherently includes data from which the identity of an individual is apparent or can be reasonably and directly ascertained by the entity holding the information. It also broadly covers information that, when put together with other auxiliary data, would directly and certainly identify a specific individual. The precise scope and legal parameters of this definition are established in Section 3 Data Privacy Act. “(g) Personal information refers to any information whether recorded in a material form or not, from which the identity of an individual is apparent or can be reasonably and directly ascertained by the entity holding the information, or when put together with other information would directly and certainly identify an individual.” 21-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
