DatatypePersonal data (PII)Draft

This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).

Name of a place of any kind, such as a settlement, an administrative area, a country, a region, a body of water, a mountain or a building. It is the broad type for place names found in free text, where the kind of place is often unknown; narrower records cover cities, countries, administrative divisions and places of birth. A place linked to a person, such as where they live or travel, is personal data.
