Research data storage
For research projects in which personal data is collected and/or processed, a data management plan must be drawn up and records must be made of where the data is stored - from collection to final deletion or, possibly, archiving of the data.
Researchers are encouraged to use devices with external storage for audio and video. This way, you will not need to destroy the recording device at the end of the project if it has been used to collect highly sensitive data, as the guidelines indicate.

Classification of data
In order to choose the right storage tool for your research data, you must classify the data by degree of sensitivity and personal identification (in Norwegian). Read more about what is sensitive personal data (in Norwegian).
