They certainly can. Once they are an adult they can make their own decisions
of the data they own.
As for the research data, you may be able use section 33 by way of
exemption, but I would look at this part of the Act first and discuss with
your legal advisors as I do not know the full story of your research....
Hope this help.
Simon.

Subject: [data-protection] Parental permission
Hi,
This might be a simplistic question (and might have been raised before), but
can a child, once they have come of age, overturn any permission previously
provided by a parent? This particular context relates to recordings of
conversations between children, and with adults, primarily for educational
and linguistic research and study purposes (but I'm not sure of the extent
to which this was made clear to the parents at the
time or whether any clear limitations were placed on usage). Could one
of the children (now in adulthood) request that their personal details
(including voice recordings) be deleted? Or does the fact that they
constitute 'research material' negate any such request? The material is of
significant ongoing research value and there is no definitive cut-off date
for any associated project etc.
Any comments gratefully received.
Jon
