The development and use of language resources often involve the processing of personal data. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) establishes an EU-wide framework for the processing of personal data for research purposes while at the same time allowing for some flexibility on the part of the Member States. The paper discusses the legal framework for language research following the entry into force of the GDPR. In the first section, we present some fundamental concepts of data protection relevant to language research. In the second section, the
general framework of processing personal data for research purposes is discussed. In the last section, we focus on the models that certain EU Member States use to regulate data processing for research purposes.
