Subject: Re: [data-protection] DP query re research data on people with amputations
If you look at my latest blog on the Regulation you will see the following re medical research (i.e. use of confidential personal data for a research purpose without consent of the data subject)
.... the processing is for “purposes and under the conditions provided for in Article 9(2) (b) - (j)”. Looking at Article 9, the provision pairs the processing of sensitive personal data (e.g. Article 9 is the equivalent of Schedule 3 of the DPA) with an identical Article 7 (Schedule 2) condition; the most notably addition is for the (medical) research purposes. This change is likely to facilitate disclosures of sensitive personal data (e.g. medical records) for research purposes, so long as the data controller informs the data subject about the research purpose; there is no right to object to this (as yet). Researchers hated the current consent requirements in the DPA that restricted the use medical personal data for research purposes; their pleadings have been heard.
