Personally Identifying Information

Any data that can be used to identify a specific individual, including names, addresses, photographs, financial details, and biometric data. In accessibility contexts, PII is a significant concern when disabled users contribute data for AI training, as they may inadvertently capture private information such as bank cards, addresses, or reflections of their face in shiny surfaces. Managing PII in disability-first data collection requires balancing privacy protection with the practical challenges of automated detection in diverse media formats.
