How we define "personal data"

Definition of personal data

Varies widely by law and regulation.  The definition of personal information varies under US law.  Some laws—such as data breach and security laws—apply more narrowly, to sensitive personal information, such as government identifiers, financial account information, password, biometrics, health insurance or medical information, and other information that can lead to identity fraud and theft or financial harm.  On the other hand, under a number of state and federal laws, personal information broadly includes any information that identifies or is linked or reasonably linkable to an individual.

California

Under the CCPA and CPRA, personal information includes information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. The definition specifically includes name, alias, contact information, government IDs, biometrics, genetic data, location data, account numbers, education history, purchase history, online and device IDs, and search and browsing history and other online activities, if such information is linked or linkable with a particular consumer or household. Under the law, consumer is broadly defined as any resident of California.

Colorado

Under the Colorado Privacy Act, personal data includes information that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable individual, who is a Colorado resident acting an individual or household capacity (ie, personal information about individuals acting in an employment or B2B context are not in scope).

Virginia

Under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, personal data includes any information that is linked or reasonably linked to an identified or identifiable natural person, who is a Virginia resident acting in an individual or household capacity (ie, personal information about individuals acting in an employment or B2B context are not in scope).

Definition of sensitive personal data

Varies widely by sector and by type of statute.

Generally, includes personal health data, financial data, credit worthiness data, student data, biometric data, personal information collected online from children under 13, and information that can be used to carry out identity theft or fraud are considered sensitive, and subject to additional restrictions and regulations.

For example, state breach notification laws and data security laws generally apply to more sensitive categories of information, such as Social security numbers and other government identifiers, credit card and financial account numbers, passwords and user credentials, health or medical information, insurance ID, digital signatures, and/or biometrics.

California

The CPRA defines sensitive personal information as personal information that reveals about a consumer one or more of the following types of information, including:

  • Social Security, driver’s license, state identification card or passport number

  • account log-in, financial account, debit card or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password or credentials allowing access to an account

  • precise geolocation

  • racial or origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership

  • contents of a consumer’s mail, email, and text messages unless the business is the intended recipient of the communication

  • genetic data

  • biometric information

  • health information

  • information about sex life or sexual orientation

The CCPA does not define sensitive personal information.

Virginia
