Which of the following is not considered personal data under GDPR?

Email addresses
Geolocation data
Aggregate data with no identifiers
Identification numbers

The correct answer is: Aggregate data with no identifiers

Aggregate data with no identifiers is not considered personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) because it does not relate to an identified or identifiable individual. Personal data is defined by GDPR as any information that can be used to identify a person, directly or indirectly. Since aggregate data is compiled in such a way that it does not reveal the identity of individuals and cannot be traced back to them, it falls outside the scope of personal data protections. By focusing on the non-identifiable nature of aggregate data, it’s clear that this type of information is not subject to the same regulatory requirements that apply to personal data, such as those concerning consent, data subject rights, and data protection impact assessments. This distinction is critical for organizations in understanding their obligations under GDPR and for determining what data processing practices they must implement to remain compliant.
