— 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 The Ikoku Foundations 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 The Ikoku Foundations.

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 The Ikoku Foundations.

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

iii-b. Non-Identification, Default, Exception

that the default position will be rigorously maintained, except where The Ikoku Foundations 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
