No it isn’t. It can only be identifiable to a household, and only by the provider or law enforcement.See You Next Tuesday -

Only in certain circumstances as established by the CJEUOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyYour IP Address is... You are wrong.
Court confirms that IP addresses are personal data in some cases | White & Case LLP
It is only personal data from the point of view of a website operator if:
1. there is another party (such as an ISP) that can link the IP address to the identity of an individual; and
2. the website operator has a "legal means" of obtaining access to the information held by that other party in order to identify the individual.
In this case the site operators have no way to obtain information from your ISP that would allow them to identify you.
Also, your email address is not automatically personal data unless it can be used to directly identify you. For corporate addresses this is usually cut and dried. joe.bloggs@BigCo.com gives your name and employer and so would allow you to be identified.
StevieWonderBoy@hotmail.com (for example) is not an identifier for the purposes of this site as it does not allow the site operator to directly identify you from it. If you used a corporate email with your full name and employer in it, then that would be personal data and you can ask to have it deleted as previously advised.
When reading the ICO site and regulations you need to be careful with your interpretation. Where a statement from the ICO says "may be an identifier" it des not automatically mean it is, the circumstances and subsequent case law have to be taken into account."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

It's a generic userid, and CUK has no right of access to SP's IP records. If Stevie Wonder Boy wants to anonymise his email address, it's not hard. Just change it to a burner email address. But I suspect that Blunder Boy just has to be right.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I wonder if that's the same for BT?Originally posted by Lance View PostInnerestingly, if you have a plusnet broadband line and have a fixed IP (£5 one off fee), you have a DNS PTR record with your surname in.

Phew. It's on request and at their discretion, so it's highly unlikely to be in place for my account
