The Pledge
To further encourage responsible data practices, we propose the establishment of a certified D Corp designation. D Corps (D for Data) would be organizations committed to ethical data practices, transparency, and sustainability. This certification would serve as a mark of trust and responsibility, signaling to consumers that a company values their privacy and the environment.
Criteria for D-Corp Certification
Data Privacy and Security
Implement robust data privacy policies that protect user information. Ensure compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
Transparency
Maintain transparency about data collection and usage practices. Provide clear and accessible information to consumers about how their data is used.
