Our Commitment to Data Ethics
Dignity Fiduciary is committed to responsible use of data and technology in fiduciary practice. The following values guide all data handling and analysis:
Our Principles
Privacy
Client information is collected only as necessary for fiduciary duties and is protected through appropriate security measures. Personal data is not shared without explicit consent except as required by law or court order.
Morality
All data practices align with ethical principles that prioritize client wellbeing and dignity. Technology is used to enhance, not replace, human judgment in matters affecting vulnerable persons.
Fairness
Analysis and recommendations are developed without bias. Data-driven insights are reviewed for potential disparate impacts and adjusted to ensure equitable treatment.
Transparency
We are open about what data we collect, how we use it, and which technologies we employ. Clients and their representatives are informed of any significant changes to our data practices. We evaluate all tools for privacy implications before adoption and disable invasive features that create unnecessary exposure.
Explainability
All analytical methods and data sources used in our work can be explained in plain language. Clients and counsel may request detailed explanation of any conclusion or recommendation.
Interpretability
Findings are presented in accessible formats that allow non-technical stakeholders to understand and evaluate recommendations independently.
Client Rights
As our client, you have the following rights regarding your data:
- Access: Request a copy of your data
- Correction: Update inaccurate information
- Deletion: Request removal of data (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Portability: Receive data in transferable format
Accountability
