-### How does registration of personal data processing work in research?
-
-If your research is subject to the [GDPR](../guides/plan-and-design.qmd#gdpr-privacy), then you need to register information on your research in a central VU registry. This central registry lists all personal data processing activities carried out at VU Amsterdam. The registry indicates why and how personal data are processed, and with whom they are shared. The registry helps VU Amsterdam demonstrate compliance with the GDPR and in the case of a data breach, the registry helps with monitoring and acting swiftly to inform all relevant stakeholders.
-
-For research projects, VU Amsterdam registers data processing via [DMPonline](https://dmponline.vu.nl/). You can create your registration by logging into DMPonline and following the following instructions:
-
-1. On your dashboard, click on `Create plan`.
-2. Enter the title of your research project (you don't have to select the check box for mock testing).
-3. Select `Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam` as your primary research organisation.
-4. For the question on primary funding organisation, select the check box on the right, saying that no funder is associated with your plan.

-Once you get to the two VU templates, you can fill in the `VU DMP template 2021 v1.4` if you need to write a DMP anyway; the information you include in this DMP template will be used for the registry. If you don't need to write a (new) DMP, you can use the separate `VU GDPR registration form for research v1.1`. Your faculty's 🔒 [Privacy Champion](https://vu.nl/en/employee/privacy-and-information-security/privacy-champions-information) can help you with your registration.

-If your research is primarily led by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc, your research will be registered using their own separate system.

-### Register before you start your data collection
-
-If you use personal data in your research, you should register your data processing activities before you start data collection. If you are not sure whether your research data are subject to the GDPR, contact your faculty's 🔒 [Privacy Champion](https://vu.nl/en/employee/privacy-and-information-security/privacy-champions-information). Your privacy champion can also assist you if your research is already running, but has not yet been registered.
