201 CMR 17.00 defines it as:

  a Massachusetts resident's first name and last name or first initial and
  last name in combination with any one or more of the following data elements
  that relate to such resident: (a) Social Security number; (b) driver's
  license number or state-issued identification card number; or (c) financial
  account number, or credit or debit card number, with or without any required
  security code, access code, personal identification number or password, that
  would permit access to a resident's financial account; provided, however,
  that "Personal information" shall not include information that is lawfully
  obtained from publicly available information, or from federal, state or
  local government records lawfully made available to the general public.
