CDRC Data

The Consumer Data Research Centre is the UK's leading source of consumer data, part of the ESRC's Big Data Programme. We offer data under three tiers: Open, Safeguarded and Secure. Access to Safeguarded/Secure data is through a reviewed application process. Secure data is accessed through our labs at UCL's central London campus, or remotely through UCL's Data Safe Haven.

To download our Open datasets, and to apply for Safeguarded/Secure datasets, we ask users to create an account on CDRC Data. This allows us to better understand the impact of our research, and aggregated user statistics are part of our funder's reporting requirements.
