The debate on the use of personal data in language resources usually focuses — and rightfully so — on anonymisation. However, this very same debate usually ends quickly with the conclusion that proper anonymisation would necessarily cause loss of linguistically valuable information. This paper discusses an alternative approach — pseudonymisation. While pseudonymisation does not solve all the problems (inasmuch as pseudonymised data are still to be regarded as personal data and therefore their processing should still comply with the GDPR principles), it does provide a significant relief, especially — but not only — for those who process personal data for research purposes. This paper describes pseudonymisation as a measure to safeguard rights and interests of data subjects under the GDPR (with a special focus on the right to be informed). It also provides a concrete example of pseudonymisation carried out within a research project at the Institute of Information Technology and Communications of the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg.
Was darf die sprachwissenschaftliche Forschung? Juristische Fragen bei der Arbeit mit Sprachdaten
(2022)
Sich in der Linguistik mit rechtlichen Themen beschäftigen zu müssen, ist auf den ersten Blick überraschend. Da jedoch in den Sprachwissenschaften empirisch gearbeitet wird und Sprachdaten, insbesondere Texte und Ton- und Videoaufnahmen sowie Transkripte gesprochener Sprache, in den letzten Jahren auch verstärkt Sprachdaten internetbasierter Kommunikation, als Basis für die linguistische Forschung dienen, müssen rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen für jede Art von Datennutzung beachtet werden. Natürlich arbeiten auch andere Wissenschaften, wie z. B. die Astronomie oder die Meteorologie, empirisch. Jedoch gibt es einen grundsätzlichen Unterschied der empirischen Basis: Im Gegensatz zu Temperaturen, die gemessen, oder Konstellationen von Himmelskörpern, die beobachtet werden, basieren Sprachdaten auf schriftlichen, mündlichen oder gebärdeten Äußerungen von Menschen, wodurch sich juristisch begründete Beschränkungen ihrer Nutzung ergeben.
The article focuses on determining responsible parties and the division of potential liability arising from sharing language data (LD) containing personal data (PD). A key issue here is to identify who has to make sure and guarantee the GDPR compliance. The authors aim to answer 1) whether an individual researcher is a controller and 2) whether sharing LD results in joint controllership or separate controllership (whether the data's transferee becomes the controller, the joint controller or the processor). The article also analyses the legal relations of parties involved in data sharing and potential liability. The final section outlines data sharing in the CLARIN context. The analysis serves as a preliminary analytical background for redesigning the CLARIN contractual framework for sharing data.
Privacy by Design (also referred to as Data Protection by Design) is an approach in which solutions and mechanisms addressing privacy and data protection are embedded through the entire project lifecycle, from the early design stage, rather than just added as an additional layer to the final product. Formulated in the 1990 by the Privacy Commissionner of Ontario, the principle of Privacy by Design has been discussed by institutions and policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic, and mentioned already in the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC). More recently, Privacy by Design was introduced as one of the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), obliging data controllers to define and adopt, already at the conception phase, appropriate measures and safeguards to implement data protection principles and protect the rights of the data subject. Failing to meet this obligation may result in a hefty fine, as it was the case in the Uniontrad decision by the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL). The ambition of the proposed paper is to analyse the practical meaning of Privacy by Design in the context of Language Resources, and propose measures and safeguards that can be implemented by the community to ensure respect of this principle.
