I will work for the benefit of society and will avoid misrepresentations of data and analysis results.

I will ascertain that, where applicable, data was gathered with informed consent of the data subject.

I will ensure, to the best of my ability, that data is collected, processed, and used in a manner that is consistent with the rights of the data subject.

I will respect the privacy of individuals and entities represented in a dataset. I will tread with care in securing the privacy of data.

I will remember that the data I work with is not without meaning or context, but represents real people and situations.

I will consider the potential consequences of extracting meaning from data and ensure my analyses help make better decisions on behalf of those represented.

I will not be ashamed to say “I do not know.” I will call in the expertise of my colleagues as needed.

I will empower colleagues of any level to express their suggestion, reservations, and concerns about my work.

I will respect the work of those who have come before me and gladly share my knowledge with those who follow.
