CCHIC End User License

Thanks for sending this @alistairewj:

Notes

This agreement has been adapted from one provided and created by the UK Data Service. We have classified data released from the Critical Care Health Informatics as 'safeguarded'. Safeguarded data are legally 'not personal' according to the relevant legislation, e.g. Data Protection Act and Statistics and Registration Services Act. However, in contrast to 'open' data, there remains a theoretical risk of disclosure despite our best efforts to anonymise.

We therefore require that all data users are registered, and that the use of the data is registerd and meets the standards required by our ethical approvals.
