Summary: The following document was created by the organization, Data4Democracy. Data4Democracy is a volunteer organization that brings together data practitioners from all over the world to work on data projects that help to improve the world, with many projects relating to social justice. The pledge was created for people who want to join the organization and is built around 5 principles: Committing to fairness, openness, reliability, trust, and social benefit. The pledge further outlines a list of ethical principles that can be helpful to keep in mind for future data projects. These ethics principles include putting people first over data, agitating organizations and colleagues to act ethically and to respect human dignity, not to over/under represent findings, and protecting individual and institutional privacy.
