Introduction

MRS has produced this Best Practice Guide to help practitioners act legally and ethically in the collection and use of biometric data.

Scope

Practitioners are required to give priority to local guidance i.e., where research practice takes place. This guidance is focusing on the collection of data from the UK, although the general principles and examples could apply and/or be adapted for other countries.

This Guidance Note should be used in conjunction with the MRS Code of Conduct (2023) and other MRS Guidance.
