Amendment 38 is a requirement that such research be conducted in line with relevant frameworks and standards, based on the UK Research and Innovation code of practice for research, ensuring transparency for the use of scientific research exemptions. Researchers would have to publish—for example, on their website—a short statement with details of what they are reusing and send it to the ICO. This is a minimal, proportionate amount of information that researchers should already have to hand, meaning that over time we get a picture of how much people’s data is being reused and for what kinds of research, so that there is some transparency here.
