Purpose Limitation

Purpose Limitation

Purpose limitation is a fundamental data protection principle that requires organizations to collect and process personal data only for legitimate and specified purposes, and to not use the data in a manner incompatible with those purposes. This principle aims to prevent the misuse or unauthorized repurposing of personal data beyond the original context in which it was collected, helping to protect individuals’ privacy and maintain trust in data processing activities.
