Approval notifications should only go to employees included in security profile of Application role

Summary: I have created a Data Role called HR_APPROVER_TEST_DATA. The Data Role is attached to a Person Security Profile which is based on Area of Responsibility. The scope is Department.

I am using the Data Role in the Approval Rules. Since I am required to select an Application Data Role when using an Application Role then I am not expecting the approval notifications to go to every approver who are assigned the Data Role, but to only those approver identified by the Person Security Profile. In this particular scenario the employee who submits the workflow is in DeparmentA so the approval notifications should only go to approvers whose Area of Responsibility allows them to see employees in DepartmentA.
