Information regarding Safaricom's initiative to minimize the use and transfer of customer identifiable data in compliance with the Data Protection Act.

```APIDOC
## Data Minimization Initiative

### Description
In compliance with the Data Protection Act (effective November 25, 2019), Safaricom has implemented a data minimization initiative. This initiative aims to reduce the amount of customer identifiable data used and transferred during M-Pesa transactions, statement generation, and SMS communications.

### Key Aspects
- **Reduced Data in M-Pesa Statements:** Limits the number of names displayed.
- **Hashed/Masked Mobile Numbers:** Employs techniques to obscure mobile numbers.
- **Compliance:** Ensures adherence to data privacy regulations.

### Project Completion
This data minimization activity was concluded on November 30, 2023.
