  Natural language processing techniques have helped domain experts solve legal
problems. Digital availability of court documents increases possibilities for
researchers, who can access them as a source for building datasets -- whose
disclosure is aligned with good reproducibility practices in computational
research. Large and digitized court systems, such as the Brazilian one, are
prone to be explored in that sense. However, personal data protection laws
impose restrictions on data exposure and state principles about which
researchers should be mindful. Special caution must be taken in cases with
human rights violations, such as gender discrimination, over which we elaborate
as an example of interest. We present legal and ethical considerations on the
issue, as well as guidelines for researchers dealing with this kind of data and
deciding whether to disclose it.
