Terminology Used

“Per­so­nal Data” means any infor­ma­ti­on rela­ting to an iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fia­ble natu­ral per­son (here­af­ter “data sub­ject”). A natu­ral per­son is con­side­red iden­ti­fia­ble if they can be direct­ly or indi­rect­ly iden­ti­fied, par­ti­cu­lar­ly by refe­rence to an iden­ti­fier such as a name, iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on num­ber, loca­ti­on data, online iden­ti­fier (e.g., coo­kies), or one or more cha­rac­te­ristics spe­ci­fic to the phy­si­cal, phy­sio­lo­gi­cal, gene­tic, men­tal, eco­no­mic, cul­tu­ral, or social iden­ti­ty of that natu­ral person. 

“Pro­ces­sing” means any ope­ra­ti­on per­for­med on per­so­nal data with or wit­hout auto­ma­ted means. The term is broad and includes prac­ti­cal­ly any data handling.
