The EU-wide rules in the Data Protection Act 2018 (GDPR) provides the legal definition of what counts as personal data in the UK. Personal data includes an identifier like: your name. an identification number, for example your National Insurance or passport number. your location data, for example your home address or mobile phone GPS data.
