The "5 Safes" is a concept in data protection developed in the United Kingdom to help in the development of an effective data protection concept.

The model contract serves as a basis for researchers to generate their own data use contracts or to identify needs and translate them into legal texts.

EOSC Pillar: Legal Compliance Guidelines for Researchers is a checklist for researchers to design research projects in compliance with data protection law. In addition to data protection law, the checklist also takes into account other legal issues of intellectual property law.

The tutorial is a detailed, research-related introduction to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The principles of the GDPR are presented as well as the "ELDAH consent form wizard" (help for creating correct consent forms for data processing).

This tool helps to implement the planned consent in a legally compliant manner. The result is therefore permissible, valid consent if the aspects and requirements from the GDPR (and, if applicable, the BDSG) contained in the wizard are complied with.

The tool allows researchers to independently determine whether and how they process personal data. In this way, the responsibility remains with the researchers and the assessment takes into account all the details of the research activity.
