D7.1 – Requirement no.1 Ethics

Deliverable D7.1 elaborates on the ethical requirements imposed by the EU Commission on the
ULTIMATE project as part of the Grant Agreement 101070162: “The ethics advisor should ensure
that the rights of the workers are preserved concerning privacy and data protection and that they
are truly free to accept or reject participation to the research experiment in WP5”.
Deliverable D7.1 offers the argument that a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) doesn’t
need to be conducted (section 2) based on the requirements and the guidance provided by GDPR
and consulting normative sources. In section 3 the document describes the technical and
organisational measures which are implemented in ULTIMATE in order to protect the privacy and
data protection rights of data subjects and research participants in WP5 Demonstrators: UC2 –
Robotic workshop (PIAP) and UC3 – Industry: Robotic arms (ROB), including the compliance
statements of PIAP and ROB DPO’s and the support and approval letter from the External Ethical
Expert (in the annex 5).
