Privacy and GDPR working group

Lead: San­tosh Ilam­paruthi

Mem­bers: Mar­i­an­na Avetisyan, Judith Brands, Con­nie Clare, Petri de Willi­gen, Nico­las Dintzn­er, Simone Fricke, Chiara Gallese Nobile, Paula Mar­tinez Lavanchy, Sjef Öllers, Zafer Özturk, Diana Popa, Phuong Truong, Yasemin Türky­il­maz van der Velden, Yan Wang, Qian Zhang and Eiri­ni Zorm­pa.

Objec­tives: This work­ing group brings data stew­ards from the 4TU.ResearchData part­ner insti­tu­tions togeth­er to learn about the best prac­tices for han­dling per­son­al or com­mer­cial­ly sen­si­tive data. Mem­bers share pri­va­cy relat­ed data man­age­ment work­flows from their uni­ver­si­ties, and eval­u­ate poten­tial solu­tions for researchers who col­lect sen­si­tive data. Our main top­ics of inter­est are data agree­ments, informed con­sent, and data anonymi­sa­tion and pseu­do­nymi­sa­tion.

Expec­ta­tions: Mem­bers attend a one-hour month­ly meet­ing on the third Tues­day of each month. Mem­bers con­duct exer­cis­es and under­take prepara­to­ry work in between meet­ings as required.

Deliv­er­ables: 

I. A Guide to Data Shar­ing Agree­ments

Our aim is to cre­ate a guide for data stew­ards and researchers to learn more about agree­ments for shar­ing per­son­al and non-per­son­al data. The guide will pro­vide infor­ma­tion about data trans­fer agree­ments, data pro­cess­ing agree­ments, joint con­troller­ship agree­ments, non-dis­clo­sure agree­ments and end-user licens­ing agree­ments. The guide will be cre­at­ed dur­ing a series of writ­ing sprints that will take place dur­ing the Autumn.

II. For­mal train­ing on Pri­va­cy and GDPR

Data stew­ards are often respon­si­ble for sup­port­ing researchers with var­i­ous pri­va­cy, GDPR, eth­i­cal and legal con­cerns, but often don’t have for­mal train­ing on such top­ics.

The work­ing group aims to organ­ise a for­mal train­ing course for mem­bers to become trained and cer­ti­fied.

Watch this space! An update will be pub­lished in the Autumn.
