personenbezogener

personenbezogener is a German attributive adjective meaning "related to a person" or "pertaining to individuals." It arises from the combination of Person (person) and bezogen (related to) and is used to modify nouns that denote persons or information about persons. The term is common in contexts such as personal data, personalized approaches, and person-centered research.

Grammatically, personenbezogener is the masculine nominative singular inflection of the base adjective personenbezogen; other forms appear according to gender, number, and case (for example, eine personenbezogene Information, die personenbezogene Daten, die personenbezogenen Merkmale). In plural definite contexts you typically see die personenbezogenen Daten, while without a definite article the form changes to personenbezogene in the plural or feminine singular form.

Usage and examples include data protection, privacy, and social sciences. The phrase is widely used in compounds like personenbezogene Daten (personal data), personenbezogene Merkmale (personal characteristics), and personenbezogene Ansprache (personalized communication). In legal and regulatory discussions, especially under data protection regimes such as the European Union’s GDPR, the term helps distinguish information that can identify or relate to a specific individual from anonymized or aggregate data.

Etymology and notes: the word is built from Person and beziehen (relating to). The inflection of the adjective follows standard German adjective-declension rules. While there is a closely related form personenbezogen, the attributive form, including variations like personenbezogene, personenbezogener, and personenbezogenes, is used in different grammatical contexts.
