Do I always have to make the data available or are there any exceptions?

The beneficiary or co-beneficiary is not obliged to disclose research data in the case of:

• research data protected under laws governing the protection of the results of copyright, invention or similar creative activity, i.e. intellectual property rights,
• trade secret rights, or other legitimate interests of the co/recipient (e.g. commercial exploitation),
• national security,
• there would be a disproportionate interference with the right to the protection of privacy and personal data,
• it is also possible to refuse the provision of research data according to Act No. 130/2002 Coll. in the case where the research or development has not been fully financed from public funds (if the researcher is not obliged to provide information according to Act No. 106/1999 Coll. and Act No. 123/1998 Coll.).
