Definitions

Non-personal data’ (NPD)is information that is in no way personally identifiable.

Personal data’ (PD)means 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, 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. PD is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). However, PD is broader in scope and covers more data.

 

A “visitor” is someone who merely browses our website. A “member” is someone who has registered with us to use our services. The term “user” is a collective identifier that refers to either a visitor or a member.
