Truncating the last octet of an IP address because it is not needed is an example of the privacy principle of Data Minimization. This principle states that only the minimum amount of personal data necessary for the purpose should be collected and processed. By truncating the IP address, the data is reduced to the minimum needed, thus limiting the potential for privacy breaches and data misuse. (Reference: IAPP CIPT Study Guide, Chapter on Data Minimization and Retention)

I’m a bit confused. I thought Security Safeguards were about protecting data, but this seems to focus on what data we actually keep. Could it really be Data Minimization?

This question feels familiar! I think we covered something similar in class, and I leaned towards Purpose Limitation, but truncating data seems more like minimizing it.

I remember something about Use Limitation being about only using data for its intended purpose, but this seems more about not collecting unnecessary data.

I think truncating the last octet relates to minimizing data, so it might be Data Minimization? But I'm not entirely sure.
