Module description
This module provides an overview of minimum standard 1.4: all personal information collected from site populations is appropriately gathered, stored and used. Topics include data protection best practice and regulations relevant in the context, establishing protocols for gathering, storing and using data and information, and establishing and maintaining a site resident database. The module encourages participants to explore how to apply this standard in the Ukraine humanitarian response, to discuss challenges that they face and identify potential solutions.

It is expected that learners will participate in discussions and activities in order to deepen their understanding of the concepts that are discussed.
