Truncating the last octet of an IP address because it is NOT needed is an example of which privacy principle?

Truncating the last octet of an IP address because it is not needed is an example of the privacy

principle of Data Minimization. This principle states that only the minimum amount of personal data

necessary for the purpose should be collected and processed. By truncating the IP address, the data

is reduced to the minimum needed, thus limiting the potential for privacy breaches and data misuse.
