- Depending on the settings and questions of the study, it's possible that Personal Information is collected.
- Although it may differ from one Regulation to another, personal information is any kind of data that can be used to identify a single individual.
- In order to collect such data, most countries' legal frameworks require the implementation of certain safeguards to preserve citizen's rights.
