Using data in a fair and respectful way.
Definition
Data ethics is about making choices that are fair, safe, and respectful when collecting and using data.

Using data in a fair and respectful way.
Why this matters
Why it matters: “Legal” isn’t always “ethical”—bad data use can still harm privacy and people.
Example
