When you have conducted interviews for a thesis, you often want to include certain quotes in your results. These quotes do not need any citation or reference, as they are part of your own research.
Personal communications is a collective term for material that cannot be found through formal channels: letters, e-mails, interviews, telephone calls, lectures, lecture notes, etc. Therefore, these should not be listed in the reference list, only in the running text.
