Research at UCL and your data

University College London (UCL) aims to conduct research to the highest standards of research integrity. Our research is underpinned by policies and procedures that ensure we comply with regulations and legislation that govern the conduct of research; this includes data protection legislation such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA).

UCL uses personal data to conduct research to improve health, care and services. As a publicly-funded organisation incorporated under a Royal Charter, we ensure that it is in the public interest when we use personal data from people who have agreed to take part in research. This means that when you agree to take part in a research study, we will use your personal data in the ways needed to conduct and analyse the research study.

Health and care research should serve the public interest, which means that we have to demonstrate that our research serves the interests of society as a whole. Most of our health and care research follows the UK Policy Framework for Health and Social Care Research.
