Master Player ID and Group ID

Hello! I have a question about how unique ids are generated by PlayFab. For my new database I don't want any key collisions. Is it ever possible for a MasterPlayerID and a GroupID to be identical? I'm assuming it is, even if it's very unlikely, because they are different entity types.

Does anyone know?

It is very unlikely that the Master Player ID would collide with the Group ID, since the IDs have 16 hex characters, which would have 16^16 possible combinations. But if you still worry about the collision, you can add some prefix to the IDs in your database, for example, MXXXXX… for Master Player ID, GXXXXX… for Group ID.
