Data minimization is the key to a meaningful privacy law
This is the sixth blog post in EPIC’s series on Data Minimization. We have previously discussed data minimization as a framework to curb harmful commercial surveillance practices, harms that stem from out of context secondary data uses, data minimization as a pillar of data security, data minimization as a tool to protect health data privacy, and data minimization as a way to regulate surveillance advertising. This post discusses existing data minimization rules in state and federal laws.
