Informed Consent: Obtaining informed consent from participants, which outlines how their data will be used and who will have access to it. Data Use Agreements (DUAs): Legal contracts between data providers and users that specify the terms of data access, usage, and sharing. Data Governance: Implementing frameworks and committees to oversee data management practices, ensuring compliance with ethical and legal standards.
