Project stakeholders are individuals and organizations that can affect or can be affected as a result of project execution or project completion.
When identifying individual stakeholders we collect and process personal data and other kind of data so we can analyze and assess their needs, interests power, influence etc.
The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA).
According GDPR a processor of personal data must clearly disclose any data collection, declare the lawful basis and purpose for data processing, and state how long data is being retained and if it is being shared with any third parties or outside of the EEA. Data subjects (individuals) have the right to request a portable copy of the data collected by a processor in a common format, and the right to have their data erased under certain circumstances.

Well, as soon as you analyse individual stakeholders, you are gathering data about them, like their interests, power, requirements and you derive information about them.

You develop strategies to influence them to support your project or at least be fenced off to disturb it.

You probably look at their public profiles, extract what you need. You have their email, phones, and you monitor your engagement with them like feedback, meeting attendance, issues etc.

This information as a total is highly sensitive and you do not want to share this with them. Think it could qualify as personal data, at least the data gathered.

Ask your GDPR specialist.
Agreed, in our organisation even a system that just records names has to have GDPR approval
