Which statement describes data minimization when using VIPs?

• A. VIPs can only process data from Salesforce.
• B. VIPs always store data locally.
• C. VIPs optimize data processing by performing bulk writes.
• D. VIPs only send and receive the data we need.

Answer: (A)

Data minimization means using only the data that is strictly necessary for a task. When VIPs are limited to processing data from Salesforce, they operate within a defined data boundary and avoid pulling in or handling data from outside sources. This keeps the data footprint small, reduces exposure, and simplifies governance because only the essential Salesforce data is touched by the VIPs. The other ideas touch on where data is stored, how it’s written, or general data movement, but restricting processing to Salesforce sources directly embodies minimizing what the VIP handles.
