Data Management Plan - fAIces project

This document presents the Data Management Plan (DMP) for the ERC Advanced Grant project fAIces – Facial Recognition Technologies. Etho-Assemblages and Alternative Futures (ERC-2023-ADG, Grant No. 101140664). The DMP outlines the procedures for managing research data generated throughout the project, including data collection, documentation, storage, protection, sharing, and long-term preservation. The project investigates the societal implications of facial recognition technologies through multi-sited qualitative research involving scientists, technology developers, activists, Black communities, and artists. The DMP describes how different types of data—such as interview transcripts, focus group materials, ethnographic fieldnotes, digital trace data, and project documentation—will be handled in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant institutional ethical guidelines. This public version of the DMP supports transparency and open science practices while ensuring appropriate safeguards for sensitive and personal data. The document will be updated during the lifetime of the project as data management procedures evolve.
