Secure storage of personal data

If you are going to process personal data in your research or student project, it is a requirement for secure storage of data in accordance with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Personal data is information that can directly or indirectly identify a person. Directly identifying personal information includes name, social security number, email address, phone number, IP address or other personal characteristics. Indirectly identifying personal information is background information that can make it possible to trace the information back to an individual, such as municipality of residence or institutional affiliation combined with information about age, gender, profession, nationality, etc.

EduCloud (CC) is a platform for secure storage. More information: https//www.uio/English/services/it/research/platforms/eduresearch/
