Individual Rights: Granting individuals control over their personal data, including the right to access, rectify, erase, and object to processing.
Data Minimization: Collecting only the data necessary for a specific purpose and avoiding excessive data collection.
Data Security: Implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, 1 or processing.
