Which of the following is NOT an example of personal data?

• A. Your name
• B. Your bank details
• C. Your age
• D. Your favorite color

Answer: (D)

Personal data is information about a living person that can identify them, either on its own or when combined with other information. A name directly identifies you, and bank details reveal financial information tied to you, making them personal data. Age relates to you as an individual and can be used to identify or profile you in combination with other data. Your favorite color, by contrast, does not identify who you are and isn’t used to pinpoint your identity on its own, so it isn’t considered personal data.
