Collection of personal data

Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific about the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
