The proposal tries to find names for different classes of privacy of some
data types. The German legislation already uses a similar system:
  - personal data      (direct pointing to a real person)
  - personable data    (asking a third party to get a pointer to a real person)
  - non-personal data  (no possibility to select a real person)

Of course the distinction is not always easy: How about statistical evidence?
