Personal data

Under the EU GDPR, personal data is information relating to an identified or identifiable living person. Combined information can identify someone too, and replacing a customer name with a code does not automatically anonymise the data.[1]

An order export can contain personal data without a name column if addresses and other details remain identifiable. Assess identification in context rather than checking only whether names are present.
