Research data management and GDPR

In the application form for ethical review, the Ethics Committee emphasizes  the importance of a data management plan and the careful use of personal data (in relation to GDPR). 

The Ethics Committee does not review/check the data management plan nor the use of personal data by the researcher.  It is the responsibility of the researcher to draft a data management plan and store this at his/her institute and to take notice of the regulations regarding personal data use.

For more information about and help with research data management you may contact the Centre for Digital Scholarship (CDS) of the university library.

For regulations regarding the use of personal data for scientific research please check the privacy policy and -procedures on the staff members website. 

For any questions, you may contact the university’s data  protection officer:  privacy@bb.leidenuniv.nl
