Privacy & Ethics

Ethics & Safeguards

This initiative is designed around one principle:

Safety does not require surveillance.

 

What we collect

• Anonymous participation data
• Broad time windows
• General location (city or postcode sector level)
• Contextual information only

​

What we do not collect

• Names
• Exact addresses or GPS data
• Free-text accusations
• Identifying personal information
• Information intended to target individuals or venues

 

Why this matters

Measuring patterns does not require identifying people.

 

This initiative is intentionally designed to reduce the risk of misuse, misinterpretation, or harm.

 

No individual conclusions are drawn.
No accusations are made.
No enforcement action is implied.

 

Our commitment

This dataset exists to inform research, journalism, and policy. It doesn't exist to shame, sensationalise, or speculate.

​

Ethical restraint is not a limitation.
 

It is the foundation.
