“…Problems with security and data privacy on the digital age (i.e., safe browsing, picking passwords, cyberattacks, vulnerabilities in cloud technologies), have been previously identified and highlighted (Bernal, 2014(Bernal, , 2018(Bernal, , 2020De, 2021;Fox, 2021;Herschel & Miori, 2017;Liu & Li, 2021;Murphy & Rocchi, 2021;Pilton et al, 2021;Prasanthi et al, 2021). The discussion has focused on how the personal data provided by the internet user in different platforms and software may be protected or threatened by attackers (Cherry, 2014;De, 2021;Prasanthi et al, 2021).…”

“…Themes like safe browsing, picking passwords or cyberattacks have been addressed in previous studies that focus on prevention and solutions of these problems (De, 2021; Prasanthi et al, 2021). Despite this, the domain of qualitative research when using digital platforms, may still raise other themes related to privacy.…”

“…For instance, how will the researcher ensure nobody can listen to the conversation? This question is not about the internet or the cyberattacks themselves (Prasanthi et al, 2021; Fox, 2021), but how the researcher will take all the possible precautions to impede that other people may listen to the conversation, which includes personal information (Lowrance, 2012), while the interview is occurring.…”

Qualitative studies have become increasingly common and have been used in different fields such as economics, politics, psychology, sociology and health research for different purposes. Instead of collecting numerical data, qualitative research’s goal is to gather information from participant’s experiences and perceptions. One of the tools to get data related to the participants’ experiences in qualitative research is through interviews. One tool that may be helpful for researchers today are digital and video platforms that fall under the domain of the internet-mediated research. The aim of this work is to identify and describe some ethical controversies when using videoconferencing platforms in qualitative health research for interview purposes. Four cases related to the use of digital platforms (videotelephony systems) to conduct interviews in qualitative research were discussed. Rather than give solutions, we reflect upon the possibility and plausibility of using these telecommunication technologies when using the technique of interviews in qualitative research. The ethical issues that may arise when using these technologies are related to privacy, confidentiality, accuracy of information and expertise when using the platforms. We think that the researcher is committed to making the best decisions in favor of the participant when using digital tools to gather information. In this regard, qualitative researchers may be benefited by the reflections we present insofar they may consider these possible scenarios that may rise ethical issues when collecting data. The activity of research needs to be escorted by constant ethical deliberations to protect participants’ rights during the collection of data phase.
