Explanation

Collection Limitation is the privacy principle that states that the collection of personal information should be limited, relevant, and lawful. It also implies that personal information should not be collected unless it is necessary for a specific purpose. This principle is aligned with the concept of data minimization, which means that only the minimum amount of data required to achieve a legitimate goal should be collected and processed. A mobile device application that restricts the storage of user information to just that which is needed to accomplish lawful business goals adheres to this principle by minimizing the amount of personal data it collects and stores.
