Datenschutzrechtliche Aspekte bei der Nutzung von Routinedaten

Abstract

"When using routine data in scientific research, comprehensive data protection rules have to be respected, particularly in the case of sensitive social data. This applies for the use of microdata as well as for the use of linked data sets (e. g., primary and secondary data). When planning and conducting scientific studies, extensive organisational and time resources are required. This article describes the legal and organisational requirements of data protection rules in Germany. It explains the terms social data, individual data, pseudonymisation, anonymisation and trust agency and outlines the legal foundations. Key players/users, especially data owners, supervisory authorities and data protection officers, and their specific roles within data protection are introduced. Based on different scenarios and examples, the key data protection steps are explained. The article is meant to serve as a tool for the reader for using routine data for scientific research in compliance with data protection regulations." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
