Glossary

Covers principles like consent, fairness, transparency, and accountability in data collection, processing, sharing, and analytics. Data-ethics governance includes ethical-impact assessments, stakeholder engagement (including vulnerable groups), and public disclosure of data-use policies, ensuring data practices align with societal values and human rights beyond mere legal compliance.
Example
A consumer-survey platform conducts a data-ethics review before launching a mental-health questionnaire. They consult psychologists and privacy advocates, adjust questions to avoid intrusive prompts, clearly explain data uses to participants, and publish an ethics statement outlining safeguards and opt-out options.
