Data Minimization

Summary

Data minimization is the principle of limiting data collection to only what is necessary for a specific purpose, thereby reducing the risk of exposure and misuse.

Detailed Description

Data minimization promotes the collection and processing of personal information that is less than a maximum. This principle is crucial in data privacy regulations such as GDPR and aims to protect individual privacy by ensuring that organizations do not collect or retain personal data longer than necessary. Data minimization not only helps in compliance with regulations but also strengthens trust between users and organizations.
