What are the rules for processing data collected for research from parties other than the data subject?
Data collected from third parties for research purposes is permissible under the rules when the personal data is completely publicly available. It is also legally allowed if the researcher successfully obtains the explicit consent of the data subject specifically for the purpose of research. Most importantly, adequate safeguards must be firmly in place, and no decision directly affecting the data subject shall be made solely based on this collected data. These strict protections for third-party research data are established in Section 20 IRR. “c. Data collected from parties other than the data subject for purpose of research shall be allowed when the personal data is publicly available, or has the consent of the data subject for purpose of research: Provided, that adequate safeguards are in place, and no decision directly affecting the data subject shall be made on the basis of the data collected or processed. The rights of the data subject shall be upheld without compromising research integrity.” 22-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
