The ADP saves the received data files as they were received from the depositor, however during the process of inspection the files are re-evaluated in terms of possibilities of identifying individuals. If necessary, the variables that are problematic are deleted or transformed and all the changes are included in the final data file version that is intended for final users.

The ADP provides access to data under the license of your choice. You can choose between three versions of the Creative Commons copyright licenses (Public Domain Dedication, Attribution or Attribution + Non-Commercial). The licenses include the option to adapt materials, the obligation of citation and providing access to adaptations under the same conditions. The difference is the possibility to use the data for commercial purposes, whether allowed or excluded.

The Deposit Agreement includes a paragraph defining the possibility of access to data only for users who are registered with ADP and who commit themselves to respecting ethical principles in the management of data. In particular, each user undertakes to take care to protect the confidentiality of the data in the sense of preventing the possibility of identifying the individual.

For each item of material, you shall specify the format in which you have deposited it, select the access regime and define the copyright licence, in accordance with Annex 1 General Terms and Conditions.
