I don't think it's PII. My point is just that your scheme of signed tokens doesn't avoid an association. There isn't a way to.

And that's fine because it's not PII and it's the only way to implement this (in my mind). What you're proposing is just shuffling around deck chairs, not actually sinking the ship.

Oh, I mistook you for the previous commenter. Yeah, I agree that what I proposed doesn't really buy you anything unless you for some reason need the mouse data not to touch the server that's processing the transaction, which seemed to be what they were saying was required. There are multiple layers to why what they're saying doesn't make sense.
