Personal information is a bit nebulous. Do we consider the list of function calls in a stack trace "personal information"?

If I sent the stack trace to you, no. Otherwise, yes. It's my stack trace after all.

(Perhaps "private" not "personal" is a better term here, but stack traces can expose personal information too, if they include details about function arguments.)
