Working With Personally Identifiable Research Data

Working with personally identifiable information is common across many research disciplines and methodologies, but it comes with important considerations for privacy and data security. This session will provide an overview of the legal, ethical and policy requirements and best practices for working with personally identifiable data. We'll define the elements that can make data personally identifiable and how this is evolving with new technologies. The presenters will explore moving data across the spectrum of identifiable to deidentified to confidentialised, in the NZ context, in order to comply with a broad range of requirements and make it easier to work with the data.
