Evolving laws and consent requirements. Long-term cohort studies often encounter changes in laws and regulations over time, including evolving IC requirements. Consider how earlier IC agreements may differ from current standards, such as permissions for sharing data outside the EU.
Participant dropouts. Account for participants who drop out between measurement rounds. For example, if a participant last contributed 10 years ago, their original IC remains valid, which can create complexities. Depending on the circumstances, it may be possible to switch to an op-out if their is a proper legal basis. Check with your local specialists.
Transition to adulthood in birth cohorts. For birth cohorts, consider how IC changes when children reach adulthood. While parents initially provide consent, adults may decide to withdraw or modify the use of their previously collected data.
Future data retrieval and linkage. Plan for potential future data uses, such as retrieving cause-of-death information from CBS (see 3.3) or updating addresses through the BRP. Ensure IC explicitly addresses these possibilities.

Specify whether the period begins after the study concludes to avoid premature data deletion. Alternatively, consider specifying periodic evaluations of data retention (e.g., every 5 years) with participant notification.
