Non-sensitive PII makes it possible to identify, contact, or locate a single person. For example, names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses constitute non-sensitive PII. The sensitive PII is currently defined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as credit card numbers, financial account numbers, government issued ID numbers, health information, or information regarding children.
