hello and welcome back to the guideline
GDP our compliance journey I'm Mike
savile and this time we're talking about
data minimization now this is going to
be quite a brief video and just start by
saying that minimization applies in two
respects one how much data you collect
or receive you should only collect or
receive the information you actually
need and then the information that you
actually process you should only process
the information that you actually need
and so if you only collect what you need
in any process that what you need then
you are doing everything you need to do
in terms of minimization so that
guideline we're lucky we have the option
to choose what we process and choose
what we collect so a few simple examples
of that when people sign up to our free
cyber essentials service they complete a
simple form which has their first name
their last name their email address so
that we can contact them about this free
subscription their company name because
sometimes we give more than one access
per company so we need the company
associated with many email addresses and
the job role of the person so we can
identify and appropriately give them
access within the system we then have
phone and company address which may be
useful if we need to contact them in the
future but it isn't mandatory on the
forum and that is it that's all the
information we collect and that's all
the information we process when it comes
to creating a free subscription in the
guideline system another example is on
some pages of our website people have
the ability to sign up to be notified
about free resources and templates that
we give them and here we purely ask for
first name last name and email we don't
need any other details to tell them
about three resources
and that's the only information that we
process on their individual finally a
quick look at our website contact form
where again name and email phone number
is optional but might be needs if you'd
like us to phone you back a description
of your request and then as we do on all
our forms an agreement that we're going
to process it for the reasons we've
stated so really quick video that's all
you want sale minimization we've cut
down what we collect which in turn cuts
down what we have process and we just
encourage everybody to look at what
they're collecting and processing and
just cut out any information that you
don't need and delete it from your
systems so I hope you found that very
useful next time we're going to talk
about technical measures so until then
we hope you find your compliance simple
