What personal data of others can I collect legally without infringing upon their privacy?
user
In general, you cannot collect the personal data of others without their consent. Except in limited cases, such as when collecting data is necessary for public interest or safety and it is impractical to obtain individual consent or when the individual already has the data publicly available, individuals must be given an opt-out option if they don't wish to have their information collected. Furthermore, collected data must only be used in a manner that is compatible with its original intended use and not shared without permission unless this can be justified by a valid legal process.

Personal data that can be collected legally include name, job title, business email address, workplace and phone number. In some cases, personal data such as age, gender and educational background may be lawfully acquired with explicit consent from the data subject. However caution should be exercised when collecting any personal data to ensure full respect for an individual’s privacy and dignity at all times. Additionally it should always to be kept in mind that any collection of personal data must comply with applicable legislation to avoid potential liability on the part of the controller for unlawful processing or unauthorised disclosures of private information. It is important therefore to ensure that any gathering or processing of personal data fulfills a legitimate purpose and has adequate safeguards in place from potential risks associated with collecting such information without prior permission or assent from the person concerned.”
