Anything that can be used to identify you. Your name is an individual identifier. Equally, in some datasets, individuals are assigned numbers that can be used to identify them. Individual identifiers are useful because they allow you to cross-reference datasets against each other to find out more information about the people in them. They are a problem, ethically, because in the event private data about an individual are attached to an identifier and that individual comes to be known, then that person's privacy is compromised.
