According to the DSCI Privacy Framework and aligned with global privacy principles such as those found in the OECD and APEC frameworks, “Collection Limitation” emphasizes that personal data should be collected in a manner that is lawful and fair, and should be limited to what is necessary for the identified purposes.

As per DSCI Assessment Framework for Privacy (DAF-P©), this principle ensures organizations collect only relevant data by minimizing unnecessary data acquisition, thereby reducing the privacy risks. The principle mandates:

"Personal data collected should be adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed."

This is designed to promote responsible data stewardship and ensure minimal exposure of individuals’ personal information.
