Implementing data minimization involves several steps:
Data Inventory: Conduct a thorough audit to understand what data is being collected, used, and stored. Purpose Limitation: Clearly define the purpose for collecting each type of data and ensure it is necessary for business operations. Data Retention Policies: Establish and enforce policies for how long data should be retained and when it should be deleted. Access Controls: Limit access to data to only those employees who need it for their job functions. Regular Reviews: Regularly review data collection practices to ensure compliance with data minimization principles.
