Personally Identifiable Information (PII) identifies an individual or household-based on:

• Who they are (name, passport number, date of birth, etc)

• Where they are (physically or on the internet)

• What they are (biometric identifiers or health status, financial accounts, tax status, etc.)

• Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

• The choices you make when deciding about which friends you hang out with

One reason why the protected data life cycle is important is because.....

To contrast protected information, public information is which of the following:

• Data that is compiled from membership directories, websites, newspaper articles, telephone directories, etc. or that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or government records

• A single data element that is known about an individual that is available or potentially visible to anyone. For example, just your name without any other information is considered public.
