Abstract:
In today’s data-driven research landscape, protecting the personal information of participants is no longer just a good ethical practice; it is a legal requirement. The POPIA code of conduct for research sets clear guidelines for collecting, processing, storing, and sharing personal data. POPIA requires a shift in how we think about informed consent, data security, and the rights of research participants. At the same time, longstanding ethical principles such as respect for persons, beneficence, and justice remain at the heart of responsible research.
