The watershed that delimits the application scope of the Regulation is the information that identifies the legal person; this information is out of the scope of the Regulation 2016/679.

In this regard, the definition of “enterprise” contained in Regulation 2016/679 deserves attention; “enterprise” means “a natural or legal person engaged in an economic activity, irrespective of its legal form, including partnerships or associations regularly engaged in an economic activity” (Article 4 (18) ].

Consequently, the line of demarcation of the objective scope of Regulation 2016/679 is not the “professional” or business nature of the information, as is the case with the consumption discipline based on the professional-consumer dichotomy; since a data referring to a company of people, to an individual entrepreneur or to a professional is still a “personal data”. Therefore, the aforementioned delimitation between what is in the objective scope of the Regulation and what is left out of it, insists on the reconsiderability of the same information to the legal person (outside the scope of protection) as opposed to other information susceptible of identifying an individual (object of protection).
