Define: Coded Data

The meaning of “Coded Data” differs based on where it is used. We list many below, then combine them into one or more market-standard definitions.

How is Coded Data defined in a legal contract?

  • Coded Data means the anonymized data sent according to a particular [clause], which data must align with the requirements specified in the [Research Plan]. All Coded Data will be treated as confidential. Seen in 2 SEC filings
  • Coded Data means data where all direct personal identifiers have been removed and replaced with words or letters that are not associated with the personal information. Coded Data excludes information that can directly identify an individual, such as names, addresses other than town, city, or state, telephone numbers, email addresses, social security numbers, account numbers, vehicle identifiers, web URLs, identifiers like fingerprints and voice prints, and any type of video recording. Seen in 1 SEC filing
  • Coded Data means ""coded private information"" where identifying information (like name or social security number) that would enable someone to easily identify the individual to whom the private information pertains has been replaced with a number, letter, symbol, or combination thereof, and a key to decipher the code exists, thereby enabling the linking of identifying information to private data. If any health information are included with the data, check the appropriate option and indicate the identifiers. Note: Coded data is data that can be identified by the individual(s) who has access to the code. Therefore, coded data is not considered to be anonymous. Seen in 1 SEC filing
