Data Security

LibreQDA was designed to ensure that qualitative research teams can maintain the highest standards of data security while working collaboratively.

• Data storage is provided throughout the project and overseen by digital specialists (you’ll never need to share documents with a USB key or by email again). Data is automatically backed up every day.
• The underlying hardware is provided by a supercomputer from Calcul Québec, an organization that receives support from the provincial government to provide state-of-the-art computing infrastructure to university researchers in virtually every field.
• The software’s web interface helps eliminate errors that can arise when members of the research team use different operating systems (MacOS, Windows, Linux).
• LibreQDA can be hosted as a standalone implementation on your own machine to ensure the utmost protection for research data. Consult the code repository on Gitlab to learn more about this option.
