In general, institutions must obtain the informed consent of an individual before they can collect or use personal information. In some cases, however, institutions may have an existing legal obligation to collect and/or use information without the individual's permission. Depending on the jurisdiction in which the research is taking place, there are various acts and regulations that may exempt certain types of research from a requirement for consent. Additionally, anonymous surveys and aggregated data are some ways in which sensitive information can be collected without violating any privacy rights.
