Data Request Terms and Conditions for the Dietary Public Health Research and the Food Industry Delphi Study study

If you request data from the Dietary Public Health Research and the Food Industry Delphi Study study, the terms and conditions laid out below will apply to any data released.

When requesting data from this study you guarantee that you will maintain data security at all times. Data access will be limited to the declared collaborators for analyses within the stated purpose. You will not make any copies of this data or transfer to third parties. No other use of this information is permitted without first seeking further approval from the Study Management Committee (or their delegates). Any shared data is confidential and must not be disclosed to any other parties without additional approval. Please quote the Unique Identifier for your release in all subsequent correspondence.

Where data is accessed on SRCP, you guarantee that your assigned individual user account is kept confidential and not shared with anyone else under any circumstances, including collaborators listed on this request. Each individual must only use their own user account.

Removal of Machine Learning (ML) models trained on study data from the SRCP is not permitted unless there is compelling evidence that the models do not pose a risk of individual-level data disclosure. Model performance metrics and other standard analytical outputs may be released following standard output checking. If you wish to request the removal of a trained ML model from the SRCP, we will work with you to undertake a risk assessment to determine whether this may be possible.
