(If the question is not relevant to your study, please write 0.)*

If there are individuals directly and indirectly involved, how do you distinguish them during the research? (If the question is not relevant to your research, please indicate it here.) If the data allows for the identification of individuals, the general rules on data processing (See Consent to Data Processing and its Annex) apply.*

38.3 If it is participatory or action research, briefly explain how you will ensure and plan to actively involve people, and describe the impact the research will have on the particular group or person(s) you are involving and the particular places or communities you are shaping.

(If the question is not relevant to your research, please write 0 below.)*

38.6 If you are conducting your research on archaeological human remains, please declare that you are conducting your research with respect for human dignity and tact. Please declare that you have read and respect the ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums on human remains and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences’ (MTA’s) recommendation on the sampling of human remains by means of destructive anthropology. (If the question is not relevant to your research, please write 0 below.)*

38.7 Declare that you acknowledge that if you want to compile another database or archive with the data collected for further research purposes (which contains personal and sensitive data), you have to ask for the participants’ consent, and you have to inform them about the expected duration of the data processing and the steps taken to protect personal and sensitive data. (If the question is not relevant to your research, please write 0 below.)*

38.8 Declare that you acknowledge that if further research on the databases or archives involves the processing of personal or sensitive data, it will be necessary to obtain the consent of the data subjects for such further research (this consent is not the same as consent to the storage of the data in the database). If the data stored in the database do not allow the identification of individuals, consent is not required for secondary use (further research), but ethical approval is required. (If the question is not relevant to your research, please write 0 here.)*

38.9 Are there any other ethical aspects of the research that are not mentioned in the answers to the above questions? If yes, please briefly explain. (If not, please indicate here.)*
