Open Humans
Mechanism and classification
Data permission and project choice → research access. Interpret this mechanism at the stated maturity level. A launch, demonstration or reference blueprint does not establish widespread operation or commercial success.
Editorial scope
The status describes the documented stage of the model; it is not a claim of market penetration or commercial success. Provider metrics remain provider claims unless independently confirmed.

Complete research dossier
The complete editorial record — including the case-specific mechanism, chronology, limitations and cross-references — is maintained in German. Use the DE switch to open the exact counterpart.
Mechanism and limits
Participants choose projects and grant access to selected personal datasets. Those choices alter which data a project can use; an upload alone would be a weaker interactivation argument.
Participants control permissions, projects define research purposes and the platform mediates access. Technical permission controls do not guarantee control over analyses already performed or identical governance across projects.
The Nature report was published online on 25 March 2015, in an issue dated 2 April. Neither date establishes an exact platform launch day. The 2020 governance study is not a privacy certification for every project. The governance paper discloses Open Humans affiliations among its authors; it is not wholly independent of the platform.
