I'd say at least for the ELO score it would apply (I think what you quote is PII, data that could be used to identify someone, not personal data):

> (a) 'personal data' shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'); an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity;

So it literally means all data in which the person is the key of the data row?


Yes, all data that is stored about a user.

I don't need to ask some service to tell me my age. But I'm grateful I can ask them what else they know about me.
