harnessed responsibly

is the duty to ensure people's
rights to consent, privacy
security and ownership
around the information processes of
collection, analysis, storage,
presentation and reuse of data,
while respecting the values of
transparency and openness.
Responsible Data Forum, working definition, September 2014

19. The right to privacy
is for those without power
Transparency
is for those with power
