We have a local law that talks about research data[1] and its movement. The problem is if some security issue happens in the cloud, it is likely to leak documents and I am a bit worried about the wording as it applies to liability. Storing them locally and have a data breach would be problematic, but at least defensible
1) Basically, no data may be shared unless approved by a local institution. Its legacy from other groups taking the data we generate and writing grants to get money that never benefits the local people or institutions. A long, long story that someone should write a book on.
- pmontra 10y agoWaiting for that book :-) A data breach should be equivalent to having paper documents stolen from a safe, unless there is negligence. Did you check with a lawyer, right?
- protomyth 10y agoI'm not writing it. When I finally leave, I won't be back (all my family has long moved away) and it will probably take a bit to decompress. Not as much as the first time, but I had to deal with politicians then and I really don't think it helped my mental health. I still have a box of papers from that era and revisiting that for a book would not be a good thing. I had questions answered by a local authority. Data breach would be interesting because it would go federal pretty quick.
