Personally identifiable information (PII), or sensitive personal information (SPI), as used in information security and privacy laws, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.

The abbreviation PII is widely accepted in the U.S. context, but the phrase it abbreviates has four common variants based on personal / personally, and identifiable / identifying.

Not all are equivalent, and for legal purposes the effective definitions vary depending on the jurisdiction and the purposes for which the term is being used.

(In other countries with privacy protection laws derived from the OECD privacy principles, the term used is more often "personal information", which may be somewhat broader: in Australia's Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) "personal information" also includes information from which the person's identity is "reasonably ascertainable", potentially covering some information not covered by PII).

A privacy policy is a statement or a legal document (in privacy law) that discloses some or all of the ways a party gathers, uses, discloses, and manages a customer or client's data.

It fulfills a legal requirement to protect a customer or client's privacy.

Personal information can be anything that can be used to identify an individual, not limited to but including name, address, date of birth, marital status, contact information, ID issue and expiry date, financial records, credit information, medical history, where one travels, and intentions to acquire goods and services.

In the case of a business it is often a statement that declares a party's policy on how it collects, stores, and releases personal information it collects.

It informs the client what specific information is collected, and whether it is kept confidential, shared with partners, or sold to other firms or enterprises.

A fiduciary is a person who holds a legal or ethical relationship of trust with one or more other parties (person or group of persons).

Typically, a fiduciary prudently takes care of money or other asset for another person.

One party, for example a corporate trust company or the trust department of a bank, acts in a fiduciary capacity to the other one, who for example has entrusted funds to the fiduciary for safekeeping or investment.

Likewise, asset managers—including managers of pension plans, endowments and other tax-exempt assets—are considered fiduciaries under applicable statutes and laws.

In a fiduciary relationship, one person, in a position of vulnerability, justifiably vests confidence, good faith, reliance, and trust in another whose aid, advice or protection is sought in some matter.

In such a relation good conscience requires the fiduciary to act at all times for the sole and interest of the one who trusts.

The term stretto (plural: stretti) comes from the Italian past participle of , and means "narrow", "tight", or "close".

It applies in a close succession of statements of the subject in a fugue, especially in the final section.

In stretto, the subject is presented in one voice and then imitated in one or more other voices, with the imitation starting before the subject has finished.

The subject is therefore superimposed upon itself contrapuntally.

Bankruptcy is a legal status of a person or other entity that cannot repay the debts it owes to creditors.
