GIDA-RDA COVID-19 Guidelines for Data Sharing Respecting Indigenous Data Sovereignty

The Indigenous Data Guidelines set out the minimum requirements for Indigenous-designed data approaches and standards, inclusive of Indigenous rights to data governance and decision-making within the planning and design of Indigenous data collection and sharing. The Indigenous Data Guidelines also highlight the inadequacy of personal and individual consent and data privacy protections. For Indigenous Peoples, collective consent and data privacy protections, supported via community-controlled data infrastructure, are essential to ethical Indigenous data practices. These Indigenous Data Guidelines apply across all sections of the RDA COVID 19 Guidelines and Recommendations.
