"I like your Widget Max Pro, it's better than the Rival X1 I had last year. But I dropped it in the toilet and now it won't turn on, so I suspect you're lying about its IP56 rating".

Let's says that 1 out of every 3 product / service reviews is like this. Do you (a) block/filter them out and treat the remaining ones as non-personal data, or (b) treat your feedback pipelines/database as personal data regardless of whether some of the reviews are, somehow, devoid of personal data?

(Or (c), do you not think the example above contains personal data?)

Because it fails the Breyer test (no reasonably likely means of identification of the data subject), or the Nowak test (no link to a particular individual, by virtue of the data's content, purpose or effect)?

I'd say it definitely is my personal data, telling you - inter alia - about the objects I own, the opinions I hold, and my recent behaviour.
