data-ethics

Vocabulary Word

Definition
'Data Ethics' refers to the moral principles that guide how data should be handled. So it's like a rulebook for managing and using data, just like traffic rules for driving on roads.
Examples in Different Contexts
In the context of privacy and consent, 'data ethics' involves ensuring that individuals' data is collected, used, and shared responsibly, with their informed consent. A privacy officer might say, 'Adhering to data ethics means we always obtain explicit consent from users before collecting or using their data, protecting their privacy rights.'
