Can I deposit datasets containing personal data?

Modified on Thu, 24 Oct at 2:22 PM

Yes, datasets containing personal data can be deposited in a DANS Data Station. However, if your dataset contains personal data, there are additional things to consider. You need informed consent from the research participants, for instance. You may also want to choose to publish your dataset under restricted access. This means that you have to grant users permission before they can use the data. DANS’ depositing manual provides more information about storing personal data and the things you need to consider.
