The content presented in the Data Privacy Handbook has been carefully curated by Research Data Management Support, in collaboration with privacy officers and data experts of Utrecht University.
The Data Privacy Handbook is a ‘living’ book that is continually being written, updated and reviewed. Its contents can therefore change, or become outdated or redundant. Hence, the information presented is provided “as is”, without guarantees of accuracy or completeness.
As scientific research may differ depending on the discipline, topic, and context, measures needed or taken to ensure GDPR-compliance will vary across research projects. The authors can therefore not be held responsible, nor accountable for any negative consequences arising from interpretation and use of the content of the Data Privacy Handbook.
The Handbook does not necessarily constitute a mandatory directive. For the most up-to-date and official/ authoritative information, please refer to the university website and intranet, to which this Handbook is a hands-on, practical supplement. Moreover, before implementing the guidance laid out in this Handbook, always seek the advice of your privacy officer or RDM Support to confirm the suitability of any proposed solution to your project.
Throughout the Data Privacy Handbook, links to external webpages may be provided for additional information or assistance. The authors of the Data Privacy Handbook are not responsible for the content of any such linked webpages, nor is the content of external webpages necessarily endorsed by Utrecht University.
Utrecht University is committed to sharing knowledge in line with the principles of open science and therefore welcomes readers from outside of the organisation. However, the contents of the Data Privacy Handbook may not be in line with readers’ institutions’ policies or views. For more authoritative information, these readers should refer to resources from their own institutions.
