Definitions
‘Non-personal data’ (NPD) is information that is in no way personally identifiable.
‘Personal data’ (PD) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data
subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to
an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors
specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
PD is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). However, PD is broader in scope and covers
more data.
A “visitor” is someone who merely browses our website. A “member” is someone who has registered
with us to use or buy our services and products. The term “user” is a collective identifier that refers
to either a visitor or a member.
