What is personal data and what does processing personal data mean?

Personal data is any information that can be directly or indirectly linked to a living natural person. For example, images and audio recordings can be personal data, even if no names are mentioned. Encrypted data and various electronic identities, such as IP addresses, are also personal data if they can be linked to natural persons.

By processing, we mean everything that happens to the personal data, such as how we collect, record, store, process and disseminate the personal data.
