Legal basis and information letter

Legal basis

Du må ha et rettslig grunnlag for å behandle personopplysninger, også kalt behandlingsgrunnlag. Avhengig av hvilket grunnlag du velger, må behandlingen også oppfylle noen vilkår. De mest vanlige behandlingsgrunnlagene i forskning er samtykke og allmennhetens interesse. Se på Sikts side om behandlingsgrunnlag.

Information letter

Whether or not consent is used as the legal basis for processing personal data, there is almost always an ethical requirement to provide information to participants and obtain their consent to participate in your project. Use Sikt’s template for information letter.

Be clear who will have access to personal data. For example, will someone else be transcribing your interviews? This must be stated in your information letter.

The information letter should include contact information for VID’s Data Protection Officer: Nancy Yue Liu (personvernombud@vid.no).
