Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is a category of information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or in combination with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific person. Examples of PII include full names, birth dates, home addresses, driver’s license numbers, and medical records. With the rise of digital data collection, safeguarding PII has become critically important for both individuals and organizations. Proper encryption, storage, and transmission practices must be implemented to ensure that this sensitive information is not exposed or misused.
