Public evidence register of voluntarily reported application experiences
The DSA40 voluntary application tracker is a public summary of researchers' reported efforts to obtain platform data. The retained snapshot is dated 8 September 2026. It records application statuses and selected refusal reasons, giving a practical view of access attempts that formal legal obligations alone cannot supply.
The page headline reports 70 complete registrations, while the visible table contains 68: 24 accepted, 27 rejected and 17 open. The homepage's 61 public-data applications also differs from the table's 60 public and eight non-public entries. These unresolved totals preclude a defensible overall approval rate. One AliExpress public-data entry is open, without a submission date, named applicant or original exchange. Published refusal categories cover only part of the rejected population; organiser criticism of a reason is not an adjudication.
