> It’s personally identifiable information (short: “PII”), but it’s not medical data. Huh, is that the case in Italy? In the US your name and date of birth are very much PHI
Your name and date of birth when held by a HIPAA covered entity (where the mere fact of them being held by such an entity is a nexus to healthcare information from which it may be possible to deduce more specific healthcare information and associate it with the individual with only public data) is PHI. That’s true of PII generally.
