Section 67 amends Article 4 of the UK GDPR. It inserts a definition of processing for the purposes of scientific research. Only processing for the purposes of research that can reasonably be described as scientific research falls under the definition. Provided that is the case, it does not matter whether the research is privately or publicly funded or whether it is carried out as a commercial or non-commercial activity.
	New Article 4(3)(a) gives examples of the types of scientific research that can fall under the definition, provides examples of types of scientific such as applied or fundamental research. However, this list is non-exhaustive and scientific research is not restricted to exclusively these types.
	Section 67 also inserts a new paragraph 4 into Article 4 which clarifies that processing for genealogical research is to be considered as processing for historical research under the UK GDPR.
	This section also inserts a definition of what constitutes processing for statistical purposes under the UK GDPR as new paragraph 5 of Article 4, along with two conditions for meeting the definition.
