This prototype e-learning tool was developed as a training resource for the EU Horizon 2020 (H2020) funded Data Pitch open innovation programme (which commenced in January 2017 and concluded in December 2019), as part of its Legal and Privacy Toolkit (“the toolkit”).
Data Pitch
The principal motivation for the EU Horizon 2020 (H2020) funded Data Pitch open innovation programme (which commenced in January 2017 and concluded in December 2019) was to increase the value of data and to enable small European companies to reap the full benefits of secure data sharing and re-use.

The Legal and Privacy Toolkit
The Legal and Privacy Toolkit (“the toolkit”) was a crucial component of the Data Pitch programme. The purpose of the toolkit was to give those organisations who took part in the programme – and who participate in similar data sharing schemes – confidence to innovate with data in legally compliant and ethical ways. The toolkit therefore covers a wide-range of key legal considerations that are likely to occur in the course of an open innovation programme – with a particular focus on privacy and data protection.
A series of three toolkit reports were delivered during the course of the Data Pitch programme (D3.1, D3.5, and D3.9). To access these reports, please visit the Data Pitch website at https://datapitch.eu/deliverables/.
The prototype e-learning tool on data protection and the basics of mapping data flows
A core component of the toolkit is seven legal decision-trees (see toolkit reports D3.5 and D3.9), which aim to communicate various key aspects of the GDPR in a simple way to non-data protection specialists. This prototype e-learning tool is a training resource that offers interactive versions of these seven legal decision-trees.
Development. Version 1: Legal Decision Trees 1, 2 and 3 – was developed from February 2018 to May 2018. Version 2 (current): the addition of Legal Decision Trees 4, 5, 6 and 7 – was developed from June 2018 to December 2019.
