GDPR guide for developers
Not "PII", personal data.
PII is a US legal term and means precisely nothing in the context of the GDPR.

If you remove PII, then whatever you are left with is no longer personal data.

No, the GDPR's definition is broader and has been in use in EU privacy regulations for a decade prior. It's every piece of information that can be linked to an individual, even indirectly.

Exactly - when you remove all PII, you are left only with data that cannot be linked to the individual, even indirectly.
