How you can tell if the data you're collecting is PII? I guess there are many definitions of PII, but I generally base my own understanding on the GDPR definition:

> ‘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 particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

No. How can you tell, as a user of any random website, that the script your browser is running as part of that page you've opened isn't shipping PII collected from your usage.
