Data ethics
- Legal implications: It’s possible that you could break the law in the way that you collect, store, process or present data. This could result in you losing your job, fines or even imprisonment.
- Reputational: There is a significant risk to your reputation or that of your employer. If a national newspaper, for example, discovered that you were using data in an unethical way, this could harm the business and lead to loss of revenue.
- Personal/Professional: If you were involved in an unethical use of data (even unknowingly) you may find it harder to obtain future employment.
