It's not overboard at all.<br>
<br>
In today's world, data, once collected is subject to<br>
- data breaches<br>
- misuse by a successor entity with lower ethical standards<br>
- errors in judgement by succeeding people in the same entity (you'd<br>
be surprised how many people think it's ok to load resources from<br>
google)<br>
<br>
All of this is risk, and thus data is a toxic asset, to be collected and<br>
retained only really necessary. It's exactly the right call to decline<br>
to collect anything more than is needed.<br>
