Personal data
Personal data is data about a living, identifiable person (name, address, date of birth, photographs, medical/financial details). Sensitive personal data includes ethnicity, religion, political views, health and criminal record — it needs extra protection.
Personal data must be protected because, if misused, it can lead to identity theft, fraud, embarrassment or harm.
