Data Protection

As recognised in the general policy of the UG, it is a shared responsibility of the researcher, faculties and the central board to have appropriate technical and organizational measures, which are designed to implement data-protection principles.

These measures include (but are not limited to):

• Recording written contractual agreements with data processors and research collaborators 
• Data minimization and de-identification
• Safe data transfer
• Taking security measures, such as encryption

To reach ‘privacy by design’ for research, it needs to be recognised that there is no one size fits all when it comes to data protection. In this section, you can find several building blocks of measures that you can implement to protect your data in diverse research projects.
