When individuals are a subject of research it is important to be familiar with legal and ethical obligations related to personal information. Special attention should be paid to the consent for participation in a study, obtained from study participants.

Kadar v raziskavi preučujemo posameznike, je potrebno poznati pravne in etične obveznosti, vezane na osebne podatke.

Predstavljen je tudi postopek anonimizacije ter različni režimi dostopa, ki jih je smiselno določiti, kadar podatke dajemo v odprti dostop.
