Pll stands for personally identifiable information, which is any data that can be used to identify a specific
individual. Examples of Pll include name, address, phone number, email address, social security number,
passport number, driver's license number, etc. IP address and email address are both Pll because they can be
used to trace the identity and location of a person. Medical record and test result values, name and year of
birth, and x-ray and blood type are not Pll by themselves, but they can become Pll if they are combined with
other data that can link them to a specific individual. References = CompTIA Project+ Study Guide: Exam
