Data Ethics

Definitions

1. The ethical questions surrounding how data is collected, stored, used, shared, and interpreted, including privacy, consent, fairness, and power. In modern organizations data ethics matters wherever technical capability outruns social caution.

   In plain English: The ethical issues involved in collecting and using data.

   Example: "The product could technically collect the behavior data, but the debate over data ethics asked whether users had actually granted meaningful consent for that kind of analysis."
