Abstract

Copyright and personal data protection are two of the most important legal aspects of collecting
data for a learner corpus. The paper explains the challenges in data collection for the learner
corpus of Latvian “LaVA” and describes the procedure undertaken to ensure protection of the
texts’ authors’ rights. An agreement / metadata questionnaire form was created to inform the
authors of the ways their texts are used and to receive the authors’ permission to use them in the
stated way. The information, permission, and the metadata questionnaire are printed on one side
of an A4 size paper sheet, and the author is supposed to write the text on the other side by hand,
thus eliminating the need to identify the author of the text separately. After scanning and adding
to the corpus, the text originals are returned to the authors.
