| Case description | |
| Actor | Researcher-Resource Compiler & Provider |
| Intended use | Distribute a corpus which contains person names and other personal data |
| Conditions | I have a licence for disseminating the material but the personal data should not be exposed |
| Question | Can I distribute the corpus after anonymising the personal data
Or Should I refrain from disseminating it? |
| Suggested legal solution | |
| Legal position | Anonymisation is useful only to the extent that (a) the corpus is still useful and relevant after the anonymisation (b) if it is clear who and under which conditions may proceed with the anonymisation (c) if the data protection provisions allow anonymisation and the subsequent distribution of data. |
| Suggested course of action | See how anonymisation relates to the desired use. |
| Type of Terms and Conditions | Data protection rules/Terms and Conditions |
| Legal basis | Data protection law |
