Description

Hey everyone,

I guess most of have heard that the EU made some changes regarding data protection and
you got one or the other "we've updated our privacy policy" mails.
It's called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and you can find information about it [here](https://www.eugdpr.org) and [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation).

As I recently put some work into making the open brain consent the standard data sharing form here I had "some" discussions, also regarding the GDPR. Based on that, I wanted to ask if you think the form should be updated including add ons related to the GDPR!? Maybe an GDPR version for european folks/studies?
After going through the legal text and in accordance with our local ethics committee, adding the contact information of the state's data protection officer and the person that's responsible for data analysis is sufficient so far (our updated version was already accepted here).

Would be great to get some ideas and start discussions.

Best, Peer

Research direction

Review the existing open brain consent form and the GDPR references linked in the issue, along with the local ethics committee guidance described there. Clarify whether a GDPR-specific European form is wanted and which contact details are required. Done means reaching agreement on the scope and updating the consent form accordingly; the issue does not name a file or test.
