PII is not GDPR term. PII is used some US-specific acts, like HIPPA.

Did you mean Personal Data?

It is very close, but it not the same.

> When organisations seek to protect their user’s data, it is necessary that they understand the data they need to safeguard. Personal data, in the context of GDPR, covers a much wider range of information than personally identifiable information (PII), commonly used in North America. In other words, while all PII is considered personal data, not all personal data is PII.

When you say PII in context of GDPR you are simply using wrong term.
