Why is it important that personal data about research participants are kept within secure, confidential records ?
In case individuals, places or organisations can be harmed through identification or disclosure of personal information
Research ethics rests on the principles of informed consent, avoidance of harm, privacy and confidentiality of participants.
Personal data are stored securely so that no participant, place or organisation can be identified and then harmed (socially, legally, financially or emotionally) through disclosure of what they shared.
Keeping records hidden from participants themselves is not the aim; participants usually have a right to know what is recorded about them.
Giving officials, teachers or other authorities easy access would breach confidentiality, the very thing secure storage prevents.
Using the data to track individuals further would be an invasion of privacy and a misuse of information collected for a stated purpose.
Hence, In case individuals, places or organisations can be harmed through identification or disclosure of personal information.
