This comment is not legal advice.  There is an EU 
directive about privacy.  One approach would be 
to treat all data as personal data unless you can 
distinguish with absolute certainty that the data 
correspond to users that cannot be 
identified.  It's difficult to get a clear answer 
as it depends on the data set and what you are doing with it.
