As part of our data governance process, we carry out a Data Transfer Risk Assessment to ensure that we comply with the UK’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), and specifically its guide to international transfers. Find out more about the GDPR and guidance on international transfers on the UK Information Commissioner’s Office website.
We are constantly curating new data, so we do occasionally have curated datasets which have not yet been updated into our data inventories: please get in touch dataaccess@iddo.org if you have questions.
The COVID-19 Data Access Committee (DAC) manages and oversees all data access applications for re-use of COVID-19 data.
The DAC aims to review applications and respond to requests as soon as possible, and within one month of submission. The DAC makes decisions based on the Data Access Guidelines, and operates according to the DAC Terms of Reference.
Contact us at covid19@iddo.org if you have any questions or would like further support.
