eIDAS Data Minimization: A Practical Guide
Blog post from Didit
The revised eIDAS regulation, expected to be fully enforced by late 2024, introduces a significant shift in digital identity verification across Europe by emphasizing the principle of data minimization, which mandates the collection and processing of only strictly necessary personal data. This regulation elevates data minimization from a recommendation to a legal obligation, with potential fines for non-compliance and requires a purpose-driven approach to data collection. It applies to all entities involved in digital identity verification within the EU, particularly Qualified Trust Service Providers, and introduces specific requirements such as purpose limitation, data retention, data security, and the promotion of reusable digital identities. Technologies such as Self-Sovereign Identity and privacy-enhancing technologies are crucial for compliance, enabling users to control and selectively share their data while advanced fraud detection algorithms help minimize unnecessary data collection. The guide outlines practical steps for implementing data minimization, including data mapping, purpose assessment, data retention policies, and consent management, highlighting the role of technology in facilitating these processes. Didit, a platform designed with data minimization at its core, offers features like modular architecture, reusable KYC, privacy-by-default design, and tailored workflow orchestration to help organizations navigate the complexities of eIDAS 2.0 and build trust with users through compliance and best practices.
