Identification Information: Personal data should include any information that can be used to identify an individual, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, NID numbers, passport numbers, and similar details.

Biometric Data: This category may include fingerprint data, facial recognition data, and any other biometric identifiers used for personal identification.

Financial Data: Information related to an individual's financial status, such as bank account numbers, bank card information, and financial transaction records, should also be included.

Health Data: Data concerning an individual's physical or mental health, medical history, and healthcare treatment records should be categorized as personal data.

Geolocation Data: Any data that reveals an individual's precise location or movements, such as GPS data, IP addresses, or data collected through mobile apps, should be considered personal data.

Online and Social Media Data: Personal data should encompass any information individuals voluntarily share on social media platforms, including posts, messages, and photos.

Biographical Data: Information related to an individual's age, gender, race, religion, and other demographics should be part of the definition.

Data from Devices: Data collected from wearable devices, smart home devices, and IoT devices that can be used to identify or monitor an individual should be included.

Communication Data: Information related to an individual's communication, such as emails, text messages, and call records, should also be considered personal data.

Any Other Identifying Information: Ensure the definition is broad enough to include any other data that, when combined or used in context, can reasonably identify an individual.
