Personal data and the purpose for processing

Source: GDPR.EU

The GDPR requires that consideration be given to how the data are being used to make decisions about specific individuals. A piece of information that does not qualify as personal data for one organization could become personal data if a different organization came into possession of it based on the impact this data could have on the individual. It all depends on the reason for which the organization is processing the data. If an organization processes data for the sole purpose of identifying someone, then the data are, by definition, personal data.

Example: First, a photo of a street in the hands of a photographer is not personal data, while that same photo in the hands of an investigator who is working to identify the individuals and vehicles that were present on that street at that particular time would be considered personal data for the individuals concerned.

The data we collect does not have the purpose of personally idenfiying, learning about, making decisions or influencing any particular individual.

IP Addresses and Cookies: Not Personal Identifiers by themselves

IP Addresses: An external IP address serves as a label for a network, not a single device. Many devices, whether connected to a home WiFi, at a university, or via the same VPN, can (and will) share the same external IP address. Even if an IP address were associated with a single device, that same device can be used by multiple people. Moreover, an IP address by itself does not reveal your name, address, phone number, or any other personal information. This is also assuming that everyone is on a static IP address, which is not the case. Many devices get a new IP every time they connect, similar to getting a new phone number every time you turn on your smartphone.

If IP addresses were used to identify people, when you visit your favorite site, you would be able to see the account of someone else connected to the same network as you. This is why, when a website or computer is hacked, you can’t simply look at the connecting IP address and immediately identify the culprit. The law understands this, which is why you won’t go to jail if you were sharing the same WiFi network as a criminal connected to the same WiFi as you.

Cookies: While cookies play a role in identifying a session, a session isn’t unique to a particular device, person, or network, and it cannot be used to identify a person unless that user makes that association by sharing their personal data with the service.
