Hi, Ken and all,
In his excellent post, Ken concluded,
"If I were still in the relatively early phases of a projects such as this, I'd consider saving the data — and the respondent names — to start again. You may be able to use some of what you’ve gathered for heuristic or exploratory purposes..."
This is not acceptable under GDPR (as I understand it). This is an important issue. An organisation cannot reuse names or data for another purpose without explicit permission from the individuals. Starting again would be a different project.
Also under GDPR, if anyone who is a European citizen is uncomfortable about submitting data to the survey. The can ask to see all documents with their name and data and ask to have all data completely deleted.
This is an interesting point of liability for universities and related research organisations. The penalties for not following GDPR are 4% annual global revenue.
If anyone would like support in GDPR, we have recently had to go through the GDPTR regulations in depth and acquired a limited expertise in it supporting European and Australian organisations to identify their exposure and change their data handling systems.
Best wishes
Terry
