What is Personal Information 

Personal information includes a broad range of information, or an opinion, that could identify an individual. What is personal information will vary, depending on whether a person can be identified or is reasonably identifiable in the circumstances.

For example, personal information may include:

• an individual’s name, signature, address, phone number or date of birth
• sensitive information 
• credit information
• employee record information
• photographs
• internet protocol (IP) addresses (business emails excluded BUT personal emails included) 
• voice print and facial recognition biometrics (because they collect characteristics that make an individual’s voice or face unique)
• location information from a mobile device (because it can reveal user activity patterns and habits).

What is sensitive information?

Sensitive information is personal information that includes information or an opinion about an individual’s:

• racial or ethnic origin
• political opinions or associations
• religious or philosophical beliefs
• trade union membership or associations
• sexual orientation or practices
• criminal record
• health or genetic information
• some aspects of biometric information.

Generally, sensitive information has a higher level of privacy protection than other personal information.
