Wouldn't that make every id that is one to one or one to many with a customer PII? That seems absurd. A user alias on some random site would meet that criteria, assuming they took name/address/etc when you signed up. Unless PII has some other significance than I'm interpretting it to have?

Right. So you'd have to have a business case for the user to have a persistent login, if you want to offer login functionality, beyond simply "track the user to see what they want". It's ridiculous.
