PEOPLE & PRIVACY · Workflow idea

Keep people research narrow, transparent, and respectful of each participant’s choices.

For work involving a specific, consented research question and limited professional information participants agreed to share, confirm permission and check the facts before taking the next step. Prepare a source-linked research note from information provided or approved by the participant. People research can become invasive or expose sensitive details, and public visibility is not consent for profiling. Explain the purpose, obtain appropriate consent, use only permitted and relevant sources, avoid sensitive inferences, enable correction or removal, and require a responsible researcher to approve any conclusion or contact.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

a specific, consented research question and limited professional information participants agreed to share, an authorized source, and a named owner

“Prepare a specific, consented research question and limited professional information participants agreed to share for informed review without treating an unverified draft, estimate, or match as final.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Prepare a source-linked research note from information provided or approved by the participant.

  1. Confirm notice, consent, and fair purpose

    Explain personal-information use and avoid unrelated or sensitive inferences.

  2. Check details with their source

    Verify identity, dates, context, and corrections before relying on a record.

  3. Treat labels and scores as limited signals

    Do not turn a classification, estimate, or summary into a fact or judgment about a person.

  4. Protect individual records

    Minimize retention, restrict access, and provide a practical correction or deletion route.

  5. Keep consequential choices with qualified people

    Do not decide hiring, care, housing, eligibility, access, or treatment from a summary alone.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A review-ready brief about a specific, consented research question and limited professional information participants agreed to share, with source checks, uncertainty, and approval status.

The handoff

A review-ready brief about a specific, consented research question and limited professional information participants agreed to share, with source checks, uncertainty, and approval status.

Keep in mind

People research can become invasive or expose sensitive details, and public visibility is not consent for profiling. Explain the purpose, obtain appropriate consent, use only permitted and relevant sources, avoid sensitive inferences, enable correction or removal, and require a responsible researcher to approve any conclusion or contact.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Explain collection, access, and retention

Provide clear notice and meaningful choices, including correction or deletion where appropriate.

Use relevant and fair criteria

Exclude sensitive traits and review how any ranking or categorization could affect people.

Restrict individual-level information

Share identifying details only with designated reviewers and minimize exports.

Keep consequential decisions accountable

Require qualified human judgment and a clear route to question or correct a result.

Keep exploring

Review property search options

Organize property options without scoring people or promising an investment outcome. Check evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.
