CPRA Emphasizes Data Minimization for Privacy, Reducing Risks
The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) is a recent state-level initiative emphasizing data minimization and personal data protection. This approach focuses on collecting only the necessary data, enhancing privacy and reducing risks.
Data minimization is a key principle in data privacy, aiming to restrict personal data collection to what's strictly necessary. It differs from data deduplication, which focuses on storage efficiency. Benefits include reduced attack surface, simplified data management, cost efficiency, and enhanced customer trust.
To implement data minimization, organizations should follow principles like purpose limitation, relevance of data, legal basis for collection, retention limitations, and security measures. The CPRA exemplifies this, mandating that companies collect only data 'reasonably necessary and proportional' for specific services and prohibiting the sale of sensitive data, especially from minors.
Similar state-level laws in the USA include the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA) and comprehensive privacy laws in California, Delaware, Iowa, and others. Internationally, GDPR Article 5(1)(c) also specifies data minimization, requiring personal data to be limited to what's necessary for its processing purpose.
Data minimization is a fundamental principle in data privacy, supported by various state-level laws in the USA and international regulations like GDPR. By implementing data minimization, organizations can enhance privacy, reduce risks, and improve compliance with data protection regulations.
