European and local supervisory authorities consider clinical research and scientific knowledge to be public goods that deserve support and incentive. The Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") also promotes data accessibility and availability for scientific researchers, provided that appropriate technical and organizational measures are in place to safeguard the rights and freedoms of individuals.

Stay tuned for more Privacy Pills to deepen your understanding of privacy in clinical research.
