“…It may help to stress the privacy assurance explicitly at multiple moments during the participant flow. Studies found that privacy concerns are negatively related to willingness to share data (Struminskaya et al, 2020;Struminskaya, 2022), or to participate in data collection in general (Keusch et al, 2019;Sakshaug and Struminskaya, 2023). In the What-sApp pilot (RQ 3) and GSLH study (RQ 1), some participants perceived their privacy as not guarenteed during the data processing and decided to not participate in the study because of this.…”

Data donation forms an innovative and ethical approach to collection of digital trace data. It relies on the EU legislation around personal data, which mandates data controllers to provide data subjects with a copy on personal data collected on them upon request. Participants in data donation studies can request a data controller (e.g. online platform) for a copy of their digital trace data, and actively consent to donate (part of this) data to a researcher. Setting up a data donation study involves a lot of steps and considerations, which all can threaten the study quality if executed poorly. In this paper, a workflow for setting up a data donation study is introduced. This workflow is based on error sources identified in the Total Error Framework for data donation by Boeschoten and colleagues (2022), as well as experiences in earlier data donation studies by the authors. The workflow is discussed in detail and linked to challenges and considerations for each step. All steps are illustrated by three previous studies on data donation. The paper aims to provide guidelines and a starting point for researchers wanting to conduct a data donation study.

Digital trace data form a rich, growing source of data for social sciences and humanities. Data donation offers an innovative and ethical approach to collect these digital trace data. In data donation studies, participants request a copy of the digital trace data a data controller (e.g., large digital social media or video platforms) collected about them. The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation obliges platforms to provide such a copy. Next, the participant can choose to share (part of) this data copy with the researcher. This way, the researcher can obtain the digital trace data of interest with active consent of the participant. Setting up a data donation study involves several steps and considerations. If executed poorly, these steps might threaten a study’s quality. In this paper, we introduce a workflow for setting up a robust data donation study. This workflow is based on error sources identified in the Total Error Framework for data donation by Boeschoten et al. (2022a) as well as on experiences in earlier data donation studies by the authors. The workflow is discussed in detail and linked to challenges and considerations for each step. We aim to provide a starting point with guidelines for researchers seeking to set up and conduct a data donation study.
