Description: Narrow Data Collection refers to the practice of collecting only the data that is strictly necessary to fulfill a specific purpose. This approach aims to minimize the amount of personal information stored and processed, which in turn helps protect individuals’ privacy. By limiting data collection, organizations can reduce the risk of exposing sensitive information and comply with data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe. This practice benefits users, who face a lower likelihood of their information being misused, and allows companies to manage their databases more efficiently, avoiding the accumulation of unnecessary data that can complicate management and increase costs. Narrow Data Collection has become a fundamental principle in the design of systems and applications, promoting a culture of responsibility in data handling and fostering trust between consumers and organizations. In a world where personal information is increasingly valuable and vulnerable, this practice emerges as an essential strategy for data protection and privacy.
