Question 1:

Is your complaint about information that contains:

  • your name; or
  • other details so that people would know it is about you?

Answer:

For example:

An example of information that identifies you even though it does not include your name could be a photograph of you published in your gym's newsletter from which your friends can tell it is you, just from looking at the photograph.

An example of information that does not identify you could be a personal email address, for example gumdrop@example.com, as long as it doesn't contain or link to your real name.
