DATA ETHICS
Research Data Ethics
Published RapidCents research uses de-identified, aggregated data solo. No comerciante-identifiable information appears: no comercio name, no cuenta o comerciante identifier, no location precise enough a single out un comercio, no figure belonging a one comerciante. Titular de la tarjeta personal data never enters un analysis dataset en all. Segments below un minimum size set antes de el analysis son suppressed, y suppression es checked so un withheld cell cannot ser reconstructed por subtraction. Publication es gated en recorded Privacidad y compliance approval.

El constraints en published research
De-identified y aggregated solo
Published research reports aggregates computed across un population. It does no report un comerciante’s own figure, y it does no report un aggregate so narrow ese it es one comerciante’s figure con un different label en it.
No comerciante-identifiable information
No comercio name, no cuenta o comerciante identifier, no location precise enough a single out un comercio, y no combination de attributes ese would identify one. Este applies a charts y tables as strictly as it applies a prose.
Datos del titular de la tarjeta es never un research input
Tarjeta numbers, titular de la tarjeta names y any element identifying un individual do no enter un analysis dataset en all. Este es no un de-identification step applied later; el data does no arrive en el dataset en el first place.
Small segments son suppressed, no caveated
UN minimum segment size es set antes de el analysis runs, y any segment below it es withheld rather than published con un warning. El research states ese un segment fue suppressed y why, so un reader puede tell un deliberate gap desde un oversight.
Differencing es checked, no assumed away
Dónde publishing several overlapping segments would allow un suppressed one a ser reconstructed por subtraction, further cells son withheld until it cannot ser. Suppressing un cell y then publishing its complement suppresses nothing.
Governance approval before publication
El dataset, el aggregation, el suppression decisions y el output son reviewed y approved por el Privacidad y compliance function antes de anything publishes, y el approval es recorded. Un analyst cannot clear su own work.
Third-party data es named y licensed
Dónde research incorporates external data, el source es named en el page y used within its licence. Data scraped desde another party’s service es no un research input.

Questions Acerca de este policy: Research Data Ethics
Will my comercio appear en RapidCents research?
No por name, y no as un figure ese identifies usted. Published research reports aggregates across un population, y any segment small enough ese un reader could work out whose numbers they were looking en es suppressed antes de publication rather than published con un caveat.

No. Comerciante transacción data es no sold, y it es no licensed a third parties para su own analysis. Qué es published es aggregate research produced under este policy.
Es datos del titular de la tarjeta ever used en research?
No. Tarjeta numbers, titular de la tarjeta names y any element identifying un individual do no enter un analysis dataset. Ese es un constraint en qué el dataset contains rather than un step applied a it afterwards.
Puede un journalist o un auditor get el raw dataset?
