Definitions

Personal Data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (so-called data subject).

Special category data is personal data that needs more protection because it is sensitive. This may include personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, genetic data, biometric data, or data concerning health.
