Humanities and social sciences researchers encounter a number of data protection issues in their work. An example is scientific events where photos and videos are taken and legal participant consent is required in order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Surveys and other research activities pose similar problems.

To address these issues, ELDAH has developed a tool that provides standardised consent form templates, enabling any user to quickly and easily obtain legal consent valid in all of the European Union. This tool is the DARIAH ELDAH Consent Form Wizard (CFW)
