The Data Ethics Canvas is a tool for anyone who collects, shares or uses data.  It helps identify and manage ethical issues – at the start of a project that uses data, and throughout. It encourages important questions about projects that use data, and reflect on the responses. These might be:

• What is your primary purpose for using data in this project?
• Who could be negatively affected by this project?

The Data Ethics Canvas provides a framework to develop ethical guidance that suits any context, whatever the project’s size or scope.
