Those are just good programming principles in general though. Abstract data types, information-hiding, and separation-of-concerns were being done in C well before OOP was a thing. Granted, the information-hiding wasn't as sophisticated as it got once OOP was introduced, but I don't think it makes sense to attribute information-hiding to OOP as a result, especially since newer programming language have used visibility attributes in the absence of OOP classes.
