Who It’s For: Researchers and research groups seeking a no-nonsense thorough legal guide of researchers and participants’ privacy and confidentiality rights.  

Why We Love It: Addresses the differences in protocol between separate, but related practices (e.g the difference between anonymous and non-identifiable information) and their implications on the study design. Links each protocol with the specific section of Canadian Law it is determined by, so the researcher is able to read up on the laws itself to enrich their understanding of legalities associated with the privacy of themselves and participants. Also addresses how larger research institutions should go about protecting participants’ privacy.
