Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

By applying the concept of least privilege to the personal data collected, stored or otherwise

processed. Incorrect. Data minimization does not address least privilege.

By limiting file sizes, through saving all personal data that is processed in the smallest possible format. Incorrect. Data minimization according to the GDPR is not about storage size, but about minimalizing the use of personal data.

By limiting the personal data to what is adequate, relevant and necessary for the processing purposes.

Correct. This is the essence of the description in the GDPR. (Literature: A, Chapter 2; GDPR Article 5(1)(c))

Hmm, D is interesting, but I think it's a bit too specific. C covers the overall concept of data minimization best.

D seems like a good option too, but it's more about file size than data minimization. I'd go with C.
