Hi, I am in the middle of my qualitative research. The interviews are not being conducted in my native language (English). Attempting to transcribe the audio would be a near impossible (or never-ending task) so I plan to get them transcribed (and I can then do the translation). My supervisor is fine with this. My query is around ethics (sending confidential information to a third party). Does anyone know the steps I need to take here? Does I need official approval? Is it possible to encrypt a file when I send it etc and how do I ensure the files are later deleted? If anyone has any experience of this I would be most grateful. Thank you!
