PERSONAL DATA ... The Meaning
Personal data means 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 by reference to:
Picture
​** IP address
The Internet Service Provider (ISP) has a record of the temporary IP address and knows to whom it has been assigned.  A website provider has a record of the web pages accessed by a dynamic IP address (but no other data that would lead to the identification of the person). ​

If the two pieces of information are combined, the website provider could find the identity of the person behind a certain IP address. 

However, the chances of this happening are small, as the ISP has to meet certain legal obligations before it can hand the data to the website provider. 

The conclusion is, all IP address should be treated as personal data in order to be GDPR complaint.
 
** Social Identity
  • Education
  • Social Class
  • Genetics
