    Greetings Santosh!

    This question is a generic and not a product specific topic.

    PII comes in two types: direct identifiers and indirect identifiers. Direct identifiers are unique to a person and include things like a passport number or driver's license number. A single direct identifier is typically enough to determine someone's identity.

    Indirect identifiers are not unique. They include more general personal details like race and place of birth. While a single indirect identifier can't identify a person, a combination can.


    Reference: https://www.ibm.com/topics/pii


    Specific to your question-
    A customer ID is typically considered a direct identifier.
    It is a specific piece of information that directly identifies an individual customer. This ID could be a unique number, code, or combination of characters assigned to a customer for tracking and identification purposes. It's important to handle such identifiers with care to ensure the privacy and security of the individuals associated with them.
