<div class="practice" data-audiences="api-designers"><span class="practicelab">Web APIs should be designed to minimize the amount of data that sites need
to request to carry out their users' goals.
Web APIs should also provide granularity and user controls over <a>personal
data</a> that is communicated to sites.</span></div>
data</a> that is communicated to [=sites=].</span></div>

Data minimization limits the risks of data being disclosed or misused. It also
helps [=user agents=] and other [=actors=] more meaningfully explain the decisions their users need
to make. For more information, see [[[Data-Minimization]]].

Web APIs should be designed to minimize the amount of data that sites need to
request to pursue their users' goals and interests. They should also provide granular
user controls over [=personal data=] that is communicated to [=sites=].

The principle of data minimization applies to all [=personal data=], even if it
is not known to be identifying, sensitive, or otherwise harmful. See:
[[[#hl-sensitive-information]]].
