Data Minimization and Storage Limitation

Course Summary

With consumer expectations and legal requirements to protect sensitive data growing in tandem, data minimization and storage limitation are more important than ever.

This mini-course illuminates the “less is more” approach, covering organizations’ legal obligations to collect and keep only the data they need — for only as long as they need it.

Why is this training important for workplaces?

Data minimization and storage limitation are essential principles for safeguarding privacy and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations in the workplace. Data minimization involves collecting only the information necessary for a specific purpose and avoiding the collection of excessive or irrelevant data. By minimizing data collection, organizations reduce the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches, and misuse of personal information. Storage limitation, on the other hand, entails establishing clear policies and procedures for the retention and deletion of data once no longer needed for its original purpose or required by law.
