These documents aren't just handy — they're often required to make sure your project meets ethical standards.
Whether you're collecting data, working with users, or planning a study, tools like consent forms and checklists help you stay compliant and transparent.
A short form to let participants know what you're
collecting,
why, and what their rights are.
Collecting personal data without consent can cause trust issues
and
violate privacy laws.
Using a clear, short form helps your participants feel informed
and
respected — and keeps your project ethically sound.
Tip: You can adjust this form to match your project. Just keep it clear, honest and respectful.
A full overview of what the GDPR means for your
project and how to stay
compliant.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European
privacy
law that
protects people's personal data.
If you're collecting or using any personal information (like names,
emails, or
behavior tracking),
the GDPR applies
— even for school or research projects.
Following GDPR helps you stay legally compliant, protect
participants' rights
and
build trust with users or testers.
Tip: If you're not sure whether GDPR applies — assume it does. This guide helps you get the basics right.
A simple template to help you define what data you
collect, why you need it, and how you'll handle it.
Collecting and managing data without a clear plan is
one of the most
common
ethical mistakes in ICT projects.
This template helps you think
ahead
— to only collect
what you truly need, keep it secure, and explain your
choices
if
asked.
A clear plan = better transparency, less risk, and
smoother
ethics approval.
Tip: Fill this in before you start collecting data — it's easier to fix mistakes early than clean them up later.
