The latest decisions on policies from research funders have been aimed at promoting open dissemination of research outputs, available to everyone, without any restriction, and allowing their reuse. These policies, which began to be applied to publications, have been spread to research data, a well appreciated good among researchers who do not easily get rid of it. The requirement of sharing data has opened a debate on what to share and how to do it. In addition, there have been reluctances, some of them shielded from the fact that some data would never be open due to its nature: personal or sensitive data. In this text we want to clarify some aspects of these policies addressed to open data whenever it is possible and close them when it is necessary.
