Section 16(1) of Act No. 110/2019 Coll. requires a controller or processor that processes personal data for scientific or historical research or for statistical purposes to ensure specific safeguards for the interests of the data subject. Section 16(1)(f) names pseudonymisation of personal data among the safeguards that the measures may include.
Section 16(2) requires the controller or processor, where this allows the research or statistical purpose to be reached, to further process special-category personal data in a form that does not permit identification of the data subject, unless the data subject's legitimate interests prevent it.
