I have read a definition about "personal data" in an ISO/IEC document which states
Details of the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person.
I don't understand that. Can some one explain that? What does material circumstances mean here?

I would guess it means details of their financial and socio-economic status.

In legal English, which seems to be the context for the definition, "material" means "of importance", in this case, circumstances (not necessarily financial) which can help define the profile of the individual other than the basic personal details.

Material here is contrasted to personal. Personal refers to health, marital status; material refers to income and wealth or assets, probably.

In a legal sense something is material when it's relevant and important. Circumstances are all the facts connected with some matter. Circumstances include even minor details, subordinate and accessory facts.
As used here, for example, it essentially means:
all the facts in any way connected with a person, no matter how minor, so long as the fact is of some importance
This kind of legal definition calls for a fine distinction―perhaps even to the point of splitting hairs―to be made by arbiters of fact on a case by case basis.
