Responsible Approaches to Data Sharing

The Centre for Humanitarian Data and the Joint IDP Profiling Service (JIPS) have developed a Guidance Note on Responsible Approaches to Data Sharing to support decision-making around the sharing of non-personal data in humanitarian settings. It explains data sensitivity, provides common examples of sensitive non-personal data, and explains an approach to information and data sensitivity classification in humanitarian settings. It also offers a framework that organisations can use to weigh four factors that help determine whether data can be shared and explains common approaches for doing so responsibly.
