- You may apply to combine data not governed by the Secondary Use Act with data authorised by Findata, provided that the original permit being amended was granted by Findata.

- where it comes from (data controller, survey material etc.),
- the format of the files, and
- for which target group the data is extracted.
- Fill in preliminary information about data to be combined:
- If the dataset includes data in more than one format (pdf, Excel, csv, etc.), add different formats on their own rows.
- Deliver the tables (which Findata needs to pseudonymise) in csv or SAS-format.
- Size of the files: If the data is in table format, provide an estimate of the number of rows and columns.
- Special notes: Explain which variables or sections include direct or indirect identifiers.
- Examples: an address variable; a text variable including names; or the names of the figure or pdf-files include personal identification code.
- Indicate, what is the (legal) basis for the use of data that is not covered by the Secondary Use Act
- Do not attach data to the application. Findata will provide instructions on how to deliver the data securely.
