Make a decision about the amount of the preserved data should be available for research and reuse.
Why do it:

Because copyright rests with you, the researcher, so you need mechanisms to regulate the re-use of your data.
How to do it:
Account for legal, funding and institutional restrictions or requirements that might influence data re-use
Consider necessary restrictions to re-use e.g. licensing or privacy issues. Do you need a Data Use Agreement (DUA)
Things to consider:
How will you manage restrictions e.g. license, privacy issues etc. associated with your data before sharing -- consider creating Data Use Agreements (DUA)
