THALDAR, Donrich; EDGCUMBE, Aliki  e  DONNELLY, Dusty-Lee. How to interpret core concepts in POPIA? Recommendations on the draft Code of Conduct for Research. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2023, vol.119, n.7-8, pp.1-4. ISSN 1996-7489.  https://doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2023/15062.

SIGNIFICANCE: The draft Code of Conduct for Research is a welcome development, but there is room for improvement in the way that it interprets core concepts in POPIA. In particular, it should: remove the provision regarding consent to future research; clarify that special personal information is a subclass of personal information that must comply with an extra layer of requirements; not exclude an individual researcher employed by a research institution from qualifying as a responsible party; and clearly differentiate de-identification in POPIA from corresponding terms used in other jurisdictions.

Palavras-chave : research code of conduct; consent; special personal information; responsible party; de-identification.
