— of Consent

— With respect to determining and ensuring adequate consent for personal biospecimens, data and information, human subjects research, and the administration of both, you understand and agree to abide by the following five-part evaluation:

i. Consent, Basis

that personal biospecimens, data and information, human subjects research, and the administration of both are subject to your consent, which is to be decided, given, informed and maintained to a sufficient degree to serve as the basis of an Agreement between Publiks and you — as the human subject concerned — for the duration of such biospecimens, data and information, research, and administration.

i-a. Consent, Basis, Activity

that such basis requires your consent for any research activity, conduct, or participation you engage in or undergo relating to Publiks.

i-b. Consent, Basis, Biospecimens

that such basis recognizes the frequent involvement of biospecimens, data and information attributable to, identifying or otherwise relating to you in such research activity, conduct, or participation — and thus requires your consent for such biospecimens, data and information, research, and administration.

i-c. Consent, Basis, Decision-Making

that such basis treats each human being as an individual person with decision-making abilities — even where such abilities are diminished and warrant protection — and thus requires adequate communication and opportunity for your informed consent, or assent, as well as safeguards and, at times, non-approval or prohibition of such biospecimens, data and information, research, and administration.

ii. Consent, Definition

that consent with respect to personal biospecimens, data and information, human subjects research, and administration of both is adequate only when it is affirmative, clear, freely given, reasonably informed, meaningful, revocable, unambiguous and written by you — as the human subject concerned — and furthermore expressly indicated for an explicit, legitimate and specific purpose for such biospecimens, data and information, research, and administration — as this purpose is delineated and explained in an accessible, clear, easily legible and understandable, informing and written form, page, or request.

iii. Consent, Meaningful

that such consent is freely given and meaningful only when and where the consent process involves your free and genuine decision to consent and your ability to refuse or revoke such consent.

iii-a. Consent, Meaningful, Not

that such consent cannot be presumed to be freely given or meaningful (a) where the asker or requester is in a position to compel consent from you; (b) where the obtaining or maintaining of your consent entails coercion, confusion, deception, force, or trickery; (c) where you are presented with no reasonable option other than to give consent; and (d) where you were made to understand that you needed to consent when you did not or such consent was not necessary.

iii-b. Consent, Meaningful, Not Situations

that such consent cannot, therefore, be presumed to be freely given or meaningful — and it is unlikely to suffice as a legally valid basis — (a) if the asker or requester is a government, public, regulatory or state agent, authority, entity, office, official, person or a judiciary representative with a subpoena or warrant; (b) or if the asker or requester presents such consent as necessary or required where it is not; e.g. for the performance of an activity, agreement, contract, conduct, or service; (c) or if you need a legal fiduciary, guardian, next of kin, parent, proxy, representative, or equivalent to take your wishes into account in providing assent; or (d) if the consent is obtained or presumed in a manner that has been determined to not be legally adequate, binding, meaningful, valid or equivalent by an official court or law of California, Delaware, a European Union member state, the United Kingdom, or the United States.

iii-c. Consent, Meaningful, Opportunity

that the consent and informing process, including the form, page, part, or request for consent, clearly discloses and explains to you — as the human subject concerned — both where consent cannot be freely given or meaningful and the reasons for such a determination, then also provides a good faith opportunity for you to (a) confirm your own understanding of the nature of the consent and the determination; (b) decide whether to proceed with the informing consent process and, perhaps eventually, the biospecimens, data and information, research, and administration in question; (c) decide not to proceed at all; or (d) opt for any alternative biospecimens, data and information, research, or administration that may fulfill the same or equivalent purpose and where consent can be freely given and meaningful.

iii-d. Consent, Meaningful, Options

that the consent and informing process, including the form, page, part, or request for consent, clearly indicates, where appropriate, options where you — as the human subject concerned — could freely and meaningfully give full, partial or no consent to a different purpose or process, and also explains the effect of such consent on your participation in or other use or visit of an authorized activity, agreement, contract, conduct, product, service, or equivalent of Publiks.

iii-e. Consent, Meaningful, Revocation

that the consent and informing process, including the form, page, part, or request for consent, clearly informs you — as the human subject concerned — of your right to revoke or withdraw consent at any time; the easily accessible, comprehensible and implementable procedure for revoking or withdrawing consent; and the effect of revoking or withdrawing consent on the lawfulness of such biospecimens, data and information, research, and administration during the period in which your consent was given.

iv. Consent, Informed

that such consent is informed only if the form, page, part, or request for consent provides to you — as the human subject concerned — all the key information, in sufficient detail, that a reasonable person would need in order to make an informed decision about whether to permit such biospecimens, data and information, research, and administration; and so only if the informing process does not merely provide lists of isolated facts, but is instead organized in a manner most likely to assist you in understanding the reasons why you may or may not decide to permit such biospecimens, data and information, research, and administration, fulfilling each requirement delineated under the Principle of Communication.

ii-a. Non-Identification, Design, Biospecimens

that, where reasonable or required, biospecimens, data and information are accessed, collected or otherwise processed in a manner that — by design — generates biospecimens, data and information that are non-identifying in nature or effect, for instance, initially anonymous or non-personal biospecimens, data and information or subsequent processes of de-identification, pseudonymization, pseudo-anonymization, anonymization, and irreversible anonymization.

ii-b. Non-Identification, Design, Research

that, where reasonable or required, the human subjects research is conducted in a manner that — by design — is non-identifying in nature or effect, for instance, absolute approaches to anonymous or non-personal processing, including encryption, and device-limited, task-limited and user-limited processing of de- and re-identified personal biospecimens, data and information.

ii-c. Non-Identification, Design, Research Administration

that, where reasonable or required, the administration of the human subjects research and personal biospecimens, data and information is conducted in a manner that — by design — is non-identifying in nature or effect, for instance, absolute approaches to anonymous or non-personal administration, including encryption, and product-limited, service-limited and task-limited administration of de- and re-identified personal biospecimens, data and information.

ii-d. Non-Identification, Design, Protection

that the above is and remains critical for attaining and maintaining standards for human subjects research protection by design.

iii-a. Non-Identification, Default

that where any personal biospecimens, data and information, human subjects research, or the administration of either are non-identifying with respect to you — as the (supposed) person concerned — Publiks maintains a normative default position of refraining from accessing, maintaining, or otherwise processing any additional biospecimens, data and information attributable to, identifying or otherwise relating to you or another person.

iii-b. Non-Identification, Default, Exception

that the default position will be rigorously maintained, except where Publiks receives a consented request from you — as the (supposed) person concerned — that meets the requirements below.

iii-c. Non-Identification, Default, Exception, Additional Data

that, as part of the consented request, you — as the (supposed) person concerned — provide additional data and information identifying you and connecting you to the non-identifying personal biospecimens, data and information.

iii-d. Non-Identification, Default, Exception, Authenticating Data

that such additional data and information include authenticating and matching credentials for digital or electronic identification and security mechanisms, for example, answers to identity or security questions, biometric data, login credentials, one-time codes for multi-factor or two-factor authentication, passkeys, or physical security keys.

iii-e. Non-Identification, Default, Protection

that the above position and strict requirements for exception are and remain critical for attaining and maintaining standards for human subjects research protection by default.

iv-a. Non-Identification, Process, At Origin, Onset

that, where reasonable or required, biospecimens, data and information are accessed, collected and otherwise processed in a manner that originates non-personal forms and states at or from the beginning, onset, origin, or source, with no ability or possibility of attributing to, identifying or otherwise relating to any person.

iv-b. Non-Identification, Process, Early, Proximate

that, where reasonable or required, biospecimens, data and information are accessed, collected and otherwise processed in a manner that results in non-personal forms and states early in processing, immediately after or proximate to the beginning, onset, origin, or source, with no ability or possibility of attributing to, identifying or otherwise relating to any person.

iv-c. Non-Identification, Process, Further, Subsequent

that, where reasonable or required, biospecimens, data and information are further accessed, collected and otherwise processed in a manner that results in non-personal forms and states subsequent to earlier processing, including further aggregation of non-personal biospecimens, data and information with multiple equivalently non-personal datasets in order to ensure the non-personal state; where all non-identification conditions are irreversibly met, such biospecimens, data and information may be safely treated as non-personal.

iv-d. Non-Identification, Process, Irreversization

that previously personal biospecimens, data and information are to be treated as non-personal only if and to the extent that such further processing includes successful irreversible anonymization combined with aggregation (“irreversization” or “irreversibilization”), i.e. aggregation of newly anonymized data and information with multiple equivalently anonymized datasets to attain and ensure the non-personal state; where all such conditions are irreversibly met, such biospecimens, data and information may be safely treated as non-personal.

iv-e. Non-Identification, Process, Preventive Aggregation

that the decision to safely treat de-identified or anonymized personal biospecimens, data and information as non-personal is based primarily on the possibility of re-identification, i.e. the ability to combine or cross-reference with any other identifying biospecimens, data and information that renders the anonymized or de-identified biospecimens, data and information effectively attributable to, identifying or otherwise directly relating to you or another person; currently, the best protection against such possibility is the processes of data summary and data transformation entailed in aggregation.

v-a. Non-Identification, Purposes

that, where reasonable or required, non-identifying and non-personal biospecimens, data and information, if priorly consented and in irreversibly anonymized and aggregated form, may be treated as non-personal biospecimens, data and information not further subject to the policies, principles, and protections for personal biospecimens, data and information, solely for purposes below.

v-b. Non-Identification, Purposes, Consented

for an explicit, legitimate and specific purpose consented to by you — as the person initially and supposedly concerned.

v-c. Non-Identification, Purposes, Organization

for consented, explicit, legitimate and specific purposes of administering as well as fulfilling the duties, functions, interests, legal obligations, policies, principles, protections, and responsibilities of Publiks, as an organizational entity, including as provided for in the Data and Information Policy and the Codes and Policies.

v-d. Non-Identification, Purposes, Personalization, None

for consented, explicit, legitimate and specific purposes of administering, engaging in, or offering a research activity or associated conduct, service, or study in a manner that is non-personalized.

v-e. Non-Identification, Purposes, Personalization, Pseudo

for consented, explicit, legitimate and specific purposes of administering, engaging in, or offering experiences, instances, or versions of a research activity or associated conduct, service, or study that are pseudo-personalized, that is, tailored to categories of persons via a non-identifying overlap of non-identifying data and information.

v-f. Non-Identification, Purposes, Personalization, Real

for consented, explicit, legitimate and specific purposes of administering, engaging in, or offering experiences, instances, or versions of a research activity or associated conduct, service, or study that are really or truly personalized, that is, tailored to specific persons via a re-identifying authentication or overlap of previously non-identifying data and information.

vi-a. Non-Identification, Re-Identification

that you consent to re-identification whenever you permit the combination of previously anonymized, de-identified or non-identifying biospecimens, data and information with re-identifying biospecimens, data and information — in this case, such temporarily combined biospecimens, data and information is treated as personal for the duration, and thus subject to the policies, principles, and protections of personal biospecimens, data and information, until the combined form is reversed.

vi-b. Non-Identification, Re-Identification, Authentication

that you are to take re-identification as a serious matter, endeavoring to protect yourself while participating in any research activity or associated conduct, service, or study involving biospecimens, data and information by, first, being thoughtful about your informed consent and the consent process, and second, making sure you are developing, protecting, and using Privately and Uniquely and Authenticating Data, as described below.

vi-c. Non-Identification, Re-Identification, Only-You-Could-Know

making sure you are authenticating yourself with something only you or one other living person could access, know, or possess at any given and precise time.

vi-d. Non-Identification, Re-Identification, Rarely Used, Written

where necessary, making sure that any names, pseudonyms, or usernames you offer or use to authenticate yourself are themselves rarely used, relatively undocumented and well-protected — for instance, given or taken during private rites or equivalently undocumented activities or events.

vi-e. Non-Identification, Re-Identification, Well-Constructed, Changed

making sure you are authenticating yourself with passcodes and passwords that are also well-constructed (that is, gobbledygook and nonsensical), well-protected and regularly changed.

vi-f. Non-Identification, Re-Identification, Well-Protected Answers

making sure you are authenticating yourself with answers to security clues, hints, or questions that are also hard to find or guess, not obvious, rarely used and well-protected.

vi-g. Non-Identification, Re-Identification,With Passcode Authenticator

wherever it is possible, making sure you are also authenticating yourself with a well-protected authenticator device that generates a single-use and time-limited code to enter after you have inputted your passcode or password.

vi-h. Non-Identification, Re-Identification, With Password Management

always and in every instance, making sure you are also authenticating yourself with passcodes and passwords kept in a highly privacy-preserving passcode and password management system, certainly those that use encryption and preferably those that do not require backup to another organization’s central server.

vi-i. Non-Identification, Re-Identification, With Physically Inserted Key

wherever it is possible, making sure you are also authenticating yourself with a physical authenticating key that you must have in hand and insert to proceed with sensitive activity.

vii-a. Non-Identification, Treatment, Personal

that, therefore, to the extent that biospecimens, data and information can be combined or cross-referenced to identify any person (also even by deduction or inference) or be reversibly de-anonymized, such de-identified, non-identifying or anonymized data and information are and remain personal at Publiks and are subject to requirements for fulfilling the policies, principles, and protections of personal biospecimens, data and information, to be treated as such (even confidential, private and sensitive) till their deletion, erasure, or irreversible destruction, if possible.

vii-b. Non-Identification, Treatment, Personal, Temporary

that wherever non-personal biospecimens, data and information are combined with those that are personal the result is a combined form to be appropriately treated as personal, for as long as the combination remains intact.

viii. Non-Identification, Strict Review

that there is monitoring and periodic strict review to ensure the biospecimens, data and information, human subjects research, and the administration of both are non-identifying and maintain non-identification, and where inadequacies or infringements are found, they are addressed and rectified without undue delay.

ix. Non-Identification, Strict Review Period

that appropriate, minimum and necessary time considerations — such as duration, frequency, and length between instances — are established for such periodic and strict review for non-identification and then for any appropriate and efficacious decision as to continued (or discontinued) administration, processing, rectification, restriction, storage, or termination.
