Dear colleagues,
As you are too well aware, the data protection legislation has changed today with the introduction of the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR).
As promised to some of you in person, we wanted to draw your attention to our data-related documents that have been
updated to reflect the changes in legislation. Summary of changes:
· we have added a definition of personal
data
· we have clarified the circumstances
under which we would share a user’s data
· we have added definitions for data
controller, data processor and personal data
· we
have included additional terms and conditions to meet the requirement of the GDPR - Article 28(3) – when an agreement is between a data processor and data controller
In the next few weeks we will also be publishing a revised and updated version of the FAQ document on the GDPR, to help
researchers better understand how the GDPR impacts on sharing research data, and a further refreshed model consent form for research. The form helps distinguish and break down when consent is being sought for ethical and legal reasons, and where it might be
being sought as a processing grounds for the personal data (if one is not using public task,
legitimate interests, or another processing ground).
Best wishes,
Louise and colleagues
