TOWARD DATA RESPONSIBILITY
COLLECTION PROCESSING SHARING ANALYZING USING
Collecting inaccurate, old or “dirty”
data affecting data quality and ability
draw meaningful insights
			Unauthorized
or intrusive data collection
potentially leading to privacy harms;
Lack of interoperable cultural and institutional norms
and expectations, creating a difficult environment to
collaborate toward mutual benefit;
Lack of data stewardship at both ends to ensure the
responsible use of personally identifiable information
as it travels across use cases and sectors;
Poor problem definition or research
design, potentially leading to data being
analyzed in a way that does not add
value toward the ultimate objective
When data is ultimately put to use, risks emerge
especially from collaborative organizations using
shared data controversially or incongruously in
relation to the original objective for its collection and/
or the original consent provided by the data subject
(if any). Such risks can have negative results like
the misinterpretation of data, the re-identification of
individual data subjects, and decisional interference
Insufficient, outdated or inflexible
security provisions creating the
potential for data vulnerabilities or
breaches;
Incomplete or non-representative
sampling of the universe – e.g.,
ignoring “data invisibles,” or population
segments with a limited data footprint
– potentially leading to non-inclusive
or unrepresentative approaches or
interventions.
Improper or unauthorized access to shared
data as it passes between entities, whether
by unsanctioned actors inside or outside of
collaborating organizations;
Conflicting legal jurisdictions and different levels
of security within collaborating entities, making
the eventual congruous data use difficult.
Inaccurate data modeling or use the
of biased algorithms, which, like dirty
data at the Collection stage, can lead
to confidence in fundamentally flawed
insights.
Additionally, at the Using stage, many
of the risks from previous stages could
yield true, identifiable harms for the
first time – e.g., a negatively impactful
policy decision being made based on
faulty data from the Collection stage.
Aggregation and correlation of
incompatible datasets can create
‘apples and oranges’ scenarios where
the eventual sharing and analysis of
commingled datasets are doomed for
failure.
