Ok I guess that we can't reach an understanding in this point. I don't think GDPR needs the real life link, you think it does.

I can understand your point and it was nice to entertain this conversation with you. I can't see how to convince you from my view and I don't see how you could convince me of yours. But I will keep you arguments in mind and will look for some more information regarding to it. Thank you!



I should've realized this earlier but I think I understand now the reason for the confusion.

GDPR handles all kinds of data related to a person, so yes: a username is personal data wrt GDPR

personally identifiable information (PII) on the other hand is only a subset of data handled by the general data protection regulation (GDPR)

This might clear that up https://techgdpr.com/blog/difference-between-pii-and-persona...


Yes! I used PII and Personal Data synonymous and didn't realise that PII is a subset of personal data. I am glad you took the time to correct me. Man I feel stupid now...
