As of May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in force, enhancing and reinforcing privacy protection across the European Union. While the core principles remain consistent with previous legislation, the GDPR introduces several new emphases and requirements to strengthen data protection. Under EU law, the processing of sensitive data (such as health data) on a large scale mandates the completion of a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). Given that the data you have requested are governed by EU regulations, you will assume the role of Data Controller for the data used in your Research Project. It is crucial that your Data Protection Officer (DPO) is actively involved in the design and implementation of your research plan. This involvement is essential to ensure compliance with privacy and data protection requirements associated with the processing of personal data in your Research Project. The primary goal is to achieve a pragmatic balance between minimizing the risk of re-identification and maintaining the utility of the data. To ensure adherence to these standards, please provide the following acknowledgments.
