Regarding data protection – if there was a free text field, is there the risk of PII being invoked?

Answer:
The concern is valid. A sugested protection in this case would be to include a text in the page that contains the free text field explictly informing that in that specific text filed no PII is required and that by including PII the user is assuming the risk to exposed his/her information. Of course, this solution should be review by a lawyer regarding legal issues you organization must be compliant with.
