Legal and ethical analysis

Introduction

This is the central page for the legal and ethical Work Packages (WP7 and 10). It is intended to:

- Link to prior outputs

- Link to existing templates for legal documents

- Summarise the state of play on key legal topics

- Help in the collection of legal / ethical inputs from DE4A partners

- Reference relevant external (non-DE4A) legal inputs

Prior outputs and deliverables

Work Packages 7 and 10 have provided the following formal deliverables and outputs:

- D7.1 Overview of legal and ethical requirements

- the Memorandum of Understanding - to be signed by all piloting partners. An overview of the current MoU signature status is also available.

- D10.5 GEN Requirement n°5 – Periodic report by the Ethics Advisor

Legal templates - disclaimers and privacy policies

Work Packages 7 and 10 have provided legal templates for disclaimers and privacy policies. The disclaimer includes caveats on the legal outcomes of the piloting applications, and thus comes in two variants: one for non-operational piloting; and one for operational piloting. The privacy policy reflects the transparency requirements of the GDPR. Both types of documents require some form of customisation, and are intended to be integrated into the micro-sites for the pilots.

Currently, WP7 has produced:

- the standard DE4A piloting disclaimer, intended to be used for non-operational piloting (with fake data; or with real data on non-operational systems). The key requirement for this disclaimer is that the piloting cannot have any impact on real persons.

- a modified DE4A piloting disclaimer for live piloting, intended to be used for piloting with real data on operational systems. The key requirement for this disclaimer is that the piloting can have an impact on real persons.

- a privacy policy for DE4A piloting - usable for operational and non-operational piloting cases.
