Abstract:  [Purpose/Significance] Focusing on data privacy governance issues, this paper explores the construction of data privacy governance structure, related paths and strategies in an open science environment to maximize the protection of legitimate data and privacy interests of individuals. [Design/Methodology] Based on the text analysis method, the data privacy governance structure is constructed from the three elements of governance subject, governance object and governance activity, and the governance path is formed. [Findings/Conclusion] In governing data privacy under open science environment, data privacy is as the governance object, and data owners, data controllers, data processors, data intermediaries, data regulators, and data altruistic organizations are as the governance subjects. Through the implementation of six types of governance activities of data privacy security education, data privacy risk assessment, data privacy processing, data privacy supervision, data privacy responsibility punishment, personal data rights protection, an overall spiral upward circular governance path has been formed. [Originality/Value] This paper innovatively constructs a data privacy governance structure and path in the open science environment, so as to safeguard individual privacy rights and promote the development of open science.
