The IP address, on its own, should not considered PII.
There was a ruling in Breyer vs. Germany that IP addresses can be considered PII – in certain circumstances.
The case was brought against an ISP, and the court ruled that the company had enough correlating data at its disposal to make an IP address de facto PII for any of its customers. The court limited its ruling, saying that with just an IP address alone, the protections associated with the directive wouldn’t apply.
I’ve transitioned to working full time as a software engineer after running two startups, right before the lockdowns started (February).
While I’m extremely lucky, I’m also at a very uncertain period in my life - as I assume most of us are.
Working from home (not being able to go to a coffee shop or co-working space) makes it hard to transition in and out of work, so days just feel a bit of a blur.
I know there are people doing way worse, going for months without jobs, so I don’t mean to diminish their situation - but this whole period just feels like waiting.
