What is personal data?
By personal data we mean any information about an identified or identifiable person. In other words, all that information that allows a person to be directly or indirectly identified. This could be a name, phone, photo, address and location, voice or email, among others.
There are also personal data, such as fingerprints or the iris, which have special protection. These are the so-called biometric data, which allow the unequivocal identification of the person based on a specific technical treatment. This special protection also extends to genetic data, which refer to inherited or acquired genetic characteristics of a person, which provide unique information about him or her.
