Data minimisation

Term, not defined in lawGDPR

This is not a legal definition. The principle is set out in Article 5(1)(c) of the GDPR.

The principle that you use only the data you reasonably need for your specific purpose. It is not a general command to process as little data as possible, but a command not to use data that are not actually needed for the specific purpose once that purpose has been set.
