Data Use Agreements

A Data Use Agreement (DUA) is a formal document that outlines how certain data can be shared and used between parties. It specifies what data can be accessed, how it should be protected, and what restrictions exist to ensure privacy and security. DUAs are used to responsibly manage sensitive information, like health or research data, ensuring all parties understand their responsibilities and comply with legal and ethical standards. This helps protect individuals’ privacy while allowing valuable data to be shared for research or analysis.
