Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, D

Personal data is anything that can be used to identify someone, so options A and D are correct. Examples of personal data include any form of ID number, addresses, dates of birth, bank details, DNA, or medical information. Option B is incorrect because it's an average age, not a person's age. Option C is incorrect because you can't identify someone from the time they entered a car park. P.120

I'm not sure about C. It could be personal data if it's linked to a specific individual's identity.

Haha, I bet the person who came up with this question was just trying to trick us. Personal data? More like personal drama!

I agree with Curt. B and C are not personal data as they do not directly identify someone.

Hmm, I'm not sure about C. The time someone drove into a carpark could be considered personal, especially if it's linked to their identity. Better safe than sorry!
