@Em0nM4stodon
Step 1: Do not take extra steps to collect data you do not need
Step 2: Remove data you collected that you no longer need
Step 3: Manipulate the data you do need so it only contains what you do need, and not what you don't.

@Em0nM4stodon Plus side - less need for all sorts of cookie banners and GDPR notices/procedures.

Both cheaper and easier.

[rotopenguin@mastodon.social]

@Em0nM4stodon counterpoint: do collect the data that you can, or could conceivably at some future point, sell.

@Em0nM4stodon Any Data you DO collect should be treated like Toxic Waste.

@Em0nM4stodon “ahhh but we need all the data.”
No you don’t.
“But we might need…”
No you won’t.
“But it’s legitimate interest.”
Is it, is it REALLY?

Step 4: ensure that the data is accurate and, where necessary, up to date:

Principle (d): Accuracy

Step 5: don't process the data in ways that are incompatible with your original reason for collecting it:

Principle (b): Purpose limitation
