And the General Data Protection Regulation ( The CPRA's requirements center around notice and choice. But the law also contains some important rules regulating the purposes for which businesses collect personal information and the periods for which they may store it. This article will look at how data minimization works in the EU, where such principles have been in place for many years.

The type and amount of personal data a company/organisation may process depends on the reason for processing it (legal reason used) and the intended use. The company/organisation must respect several key rules, including: • personal data must be processed in a lawful and transparent manner, ensuring fairness towards the individuals whose personal data is being processed (‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’); • there must be specific purposes for processing the data and the company/organisation must indicate those purposes to individuals when collecting their personal data. A company/organisation can’t simply collect personal data for undefined purposes (‘purpose limitation’); • the company/organisation must collect and process only the personal data that is necessary to fulfil that purpose (‘data minimisation’); • the company/organisation must ensure the personal data is accurate and up-to-date, having regard to the purposes for which it is processed, and correct it if not (‘accuracy’); • the company /organisation can’t further use the personal data for other purposes that aren’t compatible with the original purpose; • the company/organisation must ensure that personal data is stored for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected (‘storage limitation’); • the company/organisation must install appropriate technical and organisational safeguards that ensure the security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful ...

The latest Council version of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides that personal data may be further processed by the same data controller even if the further purpose is incompatible with the original purpose “if the legitimate interests of that controller or a third party override the interests of the data subject.” The Article 29 Working Party (WP29) and a large number of non-governmental organisations have expressed concerns that this would render the fundamental principle of purpose limitation meaningless and void. Is this indeed correct­­? We do not think so. We feel that the approach of the Council is the only feasible way to guarantee protection given that it is much better suited to deal with developments such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data. Let us explain. The purpose limitation principle consists of two elements: • data must be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes only ( purpose specification); and • data must not be further processed in a way that is incompatible with those purposes ( compatible use). The purpose limitation principle has served as a key principle in data protection for many years. In today’s data-driven society, however, the purpose limitation test has become outdated as a separate test. Imagine a mobile app that on a real-time basis records our health data, predicting how we’ll feel the next day and where to avoid getting the flu. Perhaps pushing the bounds of creepy, this app, howev...

Any company with more than fleeting EU contacts that handles personal data should have a clear understanding of when personal data can be used beyond its original purpose. This is a question that will emerge as companies and government agencies acquire greater volumes of personal data about customers or website users and discover new ways to use it. A hardware store may want to offer personalized discounts to shoppers based on their purchase history, or a city government may want to use grocery store customer data to encourage people with certain shopping patterns to choose healthier food. [1] This installment of The eData Guide to GDPR discusses what companies should know about the GDPR’s restrictions on the use of data beyond its original purpose. Usage beyond the original purpose is embedded in the core GDPR Article 5 data processing principle of purpose limitation. 1. Personal data shall be (b) collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall, in accordance with Article 89(1), not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes (‘purpose limitation’). Simply put, the purpose limitation principle of the GDPR requires that, when collecting personal data • you must express clearly to the data subject the purpose for the processing of his...

If you have heard about data privacy then you have no doubt heard about the GDPR. There are 7 key principles that are the foundation of the GDPR, so what are they? • Lawfulness, fairness and transparency • Purpose limitation • Data minimisation • Accuracy • Storage limitation • Integrity and confidentiality (security) • Accountability These principles are set out at the very beginning of the legislation and are the building blocks for the rest of it.
