MyData operates what we call hubs they are in three broad categories
They represent a distributed operating model based on the principles of circles or groups of Members volunteering to undertake specific objectives and remit.
Circles and Hub operating model
Circles and Hubs can be proposed by two or more Members or created from an existing circle or hub. They are coordinated and operated by MyData Members on a volunteer basis. MyData Global provide support and the framework for defining their remit, presenting and managing their plans, an operating model and their coordination with MyData Global and other Hubs. Transparency and reporting to MyData Members and the wider community of stakeholders is a key part of our mission to develop knowledge sharing and network development. Each Circle and Hub make their own decisions through consent.

Thematic Hubs
Thematic Hubs focus on a specific area of interest and relevance to the MyData Global mission and declaration. These themes cover specific areas or domains that are relevant to a persons life. This encompasses how people and organisations use personal data covering all aspects of a persons life and their interactions with each other and their network of service and product providers as well in policy development and research and innovation.
