# Is a professional email address considered personal data?

Undeniably, yes! This is all the more true if it makes it possible to directly identify a natural person.

Undoubtedly, yes! This is all the more true if it makes it possible to directly identify a natural person.

It is, however, important to emphasize that generic professional email addresses such as ([info@nomsociete.fr](mailto:info@nomsociete.fr), [contact@nomsociete.fr](mailto:contact@nomsociete.fr), [commande@nomsociete.fr](mailto:commande@nomsociete.fr)) are contact details linked to legal entities and, as such, are not subject to the provisions of the GDPR.
