Which of the following would be considered non-personally identifiable information?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Non-personally identifiable information (non-PII) is any data that cannot be used to identify, contact, or locate a specific individual, either alone or combined with other sources. Non-PII can include aggregated statistics, anonymous data, device identifiers, IP addresses, cookies, and other types of information that do not reveal the identity or location of a person. Cell phone device name is an example of non-PII, as it does not reveal any personal information about the owner or user of the device. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

I agree with the others that A seems like the right choice, but I wonder if there are exceptions I might have missed in my studies.

I’m a bit confused. Isn’t a cell phone device name still somewhat personal? I feel like I need to double-check my notes on this.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think the answer is A. The other options definitely identify a person.

I think non-personally identifiable information is anything that can't directly identify someone, but I'm not sure if a device name counts.
