Data on Natural Person

Natural Person

GDPR is about protecting 'natural persons', which is basically another word of 'human being'. And this way, GDPR is part of the European Union Human Rights.

Examples of someone that GDPR is not protecting are pets, buildings, etc. or any kind of 'legal persons' (entities) not being natural persons, e.g. companies, public institutions, etc. In other word, GDPR does not put restrictions to what data one company is storing about another company or organisation.

Person Data

GDPR defines 'Person data' as information identifying a natural person directly or indirectly such as s a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one of several special characteristics, which expresses the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, commercial, cultural or social identity of these natural persons. In practice, these also include all data which are or can be assigned to a person in any kind of way. For example, the telephone, credit card or personnel number of a person, account data, number plate, appearance, customer number or address are all personal data.
