Hi Glen,

Not sure this is detailed enough for you, but the IAPP (International Association of Privacy Professionals) defines PII (Personally Identifiable Information) as the following:

May refer to either a generic term for information, or an EU term for such information. In the U.S., such information may be referred to as Personally Identifiable Information
Reference(s) in IAPP Certification Textbooks: F4-7, 39; G4-5; M36 Acronym(s): PI Associated term(s): Personal Data; Personally Identifying Information; Personally Identifiable Information

I think that the definition of Personal Data may be more suitable for you: 

Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly-in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.  Reference(s) in IAPP Certification Textbooks: F4-7, 39 Associated term(s): Personal Information; Personally Identifying Information; Personally Identifiable Information

The IAPP also has their glossary of privacy terms available for free online: https://iapp.org/resources/glossary.

All my best - ilona
