The development and use of language resources often involve the processing of personal data.
Processing has to have a legal ground. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides
several legal grounds. In the context of scientific research, Consent, Public interest and Legitimate
interest are relevant. The main question is when researchers should rely on Consent and
when on Public or Legitimate interest to conduct research. All three grounds have their advantages
and challenges. For comparing Consent and Public interest, the Clinical Trial Regulation
is used as an example. In addition, we study how this has been implemented in Finland based on
the guidelines for research data from the Data Protection Ombudsman and suggest an update of
the CLARIN Deposition License Agreement templates to accommodate data sets with personal
data.
