What Is Personal Information?

PERSONAL INFORMATION refers to any information, whether recorded in a material form or not, from which the identity of an individual is apparent or can be reasonably and directly ascertained by the entity holding the information, or when put together with other information would directly and certainly identify an individual

Personal Information is considered SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION when it is about:

  • An individual’s race, ethnic origin, marital status, age, colour, and religious, philosophical or political affiliations;
  • An individual’s health, education, genetic or sexual life of a person, or to any proceeding for any offense committed or alleged to have been committed by such individual, the disposal of such proceedings, or the sentence of any court in such proceedings;
  • Those issued by government agencies peculiar to an individual, which include social security numbers, previous or current health records, licenses or its denials, suspension or revocation, and tax returns; and
  • Those specifically established by an executive order or an act of congress to be kept classified.

All types of personal information are collectively referred to as PERSONAL DATA
