    How is IBM authoritative on this subject? And even so, this article doesn’t say that usernames are not PII, it even indirectly says it is indirect PII.

    Here’s another random company’s page saying usernames are PII: https://www.keepersecurity.com/blog/2023/06/14/what-is-personally-identifiable-information-pii/

    The GDPR says it clearly and explicitly that:

    • online identifiers such as usernames are PII
    • selling data or money transactions of any kind is not a requirement for the GDPR rules to apply
