10/21/2020, 1:34 PMIt probably wouldn't be because that would likely constitute PII

10/21/2020, 1:35 PMAnyway, my point is that that is something we would likely not include in the GTM data layer

10/21/2020, 1:38 PMI'm rather surprised at email address. Perhaps I am out of date or incorrect then
Steve Goldberg
10/21/2020, 1:38 PMBut GA builds in a bunch of things to anonymise PII. For example, originating IP address.

Steve Goldberg
10/21/2020, 1:42 PMBut yeah, I don't know about state
Steve Goldberg
10/21/2020, 1:42 PMIt says "mailing addresses" and so you would likely need to find a legal authority to determine whether a state by itself is OK or crosses the line

10/21/2020, 2:02 PMA colleague says that state is considered 'linkable information' which means that it's probably OK if it's the only thing you collect, but can become PII if combined with other bits of information
