DATA REQUEST
Scientific Use
The FDZ Ruhr makes the data available to external researchers for non-commercial use only. Use is project-related and possible in two ways, Scientific Use File (SUF) and guest researcher stay. Both types of access require an application from the user. If you are interested in one of our datasets, we offer you the opportunity to simply apply for data online. It is possible to interrupt data requests and resume them at a later date. Please also note our terms of use.
To request data, please follow the links below. You will be forwarded to the external service provider onlineumfragen.com:

Note: Your request will be reviewed and a data usage agreement will be drawn up. This will take approximately ten working days to process.
We will contact you immediately if we have any questions regarding the review.
We ask for your understanding that within the normal processing time (10 working days) we will not prioritise responding to contract status queries.

The management of the FDZ Ruhr decides on the release of the requested data according to defined rules. Please note that the access types differ with regard to the degree of anonymization of the data provided and with regard to the mobility of data use. Scientific Use Files are de facto anonymized data that can be evaluated by researchers in scientific institutions. Guest residencies offer researchers access to weakly anonymized data, the use of which must comply with a number of data protection regulations. For this reason, evaluations of this data are only possible during a guest stay in our data security room.
Publicly accessible data
There are data sets that are also accessible as public use files. These datasets contain completely anonymized or aggregated data. Their use is therefore not restricted to a specific user group or location. Public Use Files can be requested by e-mail to fdz@rwi-essen.de.
Terms of use
The FDZ Ruhr expects responsible use of the data provided. Any attempts to identify individuals (individuals, companies or comparable groups) are to be refrained from. If an accidental re-anonymization occurs, this must be reported to the data provider immediately. Data that contain personal references or for which there is a possibility of re-anonymization are generally only made available for the purposes of scientific research. For this purpose, the FDZ Ruhr concludes user agreements with the legal representatives of research institutions. When using these data, it must be ensured that data protection regulations according to Art. 29 DS-GVO, Art. 5 DS-GVO, Art. 89 DS-GVO and §78 SGBX as well as the appendices to Art. 32 para. l DS-GVO and §78 SGBX are adhered to. This data will not be transferred to countries that are not classified by the European Union as safe in terms of data protection. For data protection reasons, we can only provide our data to applicants and users in EU countries and countries with a comparable data protection agreement. If you are a data user from another country, please write to us at fdz@rwi-essen.de.
