  • So this is pretty good.

    It’s a list of things you need to do in order to make the use of Google forms gdpr compliant.

    One thing they don’t touch on is the use of personal accounts to collect data. People tend to use Google forms because it’s easy to set up using their personal account, but that essentially removes any company oversight from the collection and data processing. This makes it much harder to satisfy the data controller requirements.

    Of course if it’s an external contractor gathering the data and processing it independently, your company is likely to dismiss all this as not their problem.

    If it’s real academic research it will have had to go through ethics approval, and this should include data handling, and gdpr compliance.
