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.

Data Brokers Threaten National Security. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Fair Credit Reporting Act Rulemaking Can Reduce the Threat.
