Understanding Society User Support

Hello,

I am a final year PhD student who is very close to submission. As part of my research, I have reconstructed monthly retrospective data from across the Understanding Society survey into a single database of 100,000+ occupational sequences.

Constructing this database was very time consuming and I believe the complexity of this task prevents many researchers from using the retrospective data available within the Understand Society survey. As part of my thesis submission, I was therefore hoping to share this dataset on a public GitHub repository. The data frame would include participants’ unique ID (pidp) and their monthly occupational activities between the years 1900-2020.

I am aware this may be a breach of the end user licence agreement, and so was hoping to get some clarification on the legality of sharing this data. Specifically:

1) Is it a breach of the End User License agreement for me to share this data on a public repository?

2) If so, is there any way for me to share this data that would not be a breach of the End User License agreement or broader data protection laws?

Many thanks in advance for your time,

Michael
