1          What is personal data?

1.1       "Personal data" has the meaning given to the term "personal information" in the Privacy Act (except in relation to GDPR Data – in which case "personal data" has the meaning given to it in the GDPR). The Privacy Act defines "personal information" as information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable:

 

(a)       whether the information or opinion is true or not; and

(b)       whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.

 

1.2       Section 187LA of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 extends the meaning of personal information to cover information kept under Part 5‑1A of that Act.

 

1.3       Article 4(1) of the GDPR defines "personal data" as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
