Description: The main reasons are as follows: IPD contains personal sensitive information, and sharing it may infringe on privacy and violate data protection regulations (such as GDPR). Sharing IPD may pose risks of data leakage or misuse, especially when it is not adequately anonymized. The use of data is subject to legal or contractual constraints and cannot be shared without permission. IPD may involve intellectual property rights or business secrets, and sharing it may affect the rights of data owners. Sharing IPD may violate the informed consent of research participants and trigger ethical disputes. The lack of background information may lead to incorrect interpretation or misuse of the data. The process of data preparation, anonymization, and sharing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, adding additional burdens. Therefore, IPD sharing should be done with caution and usually requires strict review and protection by agreement.
