We understand that a lack of transparency in our process and decision-making can lead to a variety of harms and risks. A lack of visibility can erode already strained trust in organizations that develop and deploy new technologies in public sector, further marginalizing our partners in the community.
We commit to clearly communicating our decision-making processes and rationale to our partners in a way that is easy to understand. We will disclose relevant information about our data practices, and provide clear and concise explanations of complex technical concepts in plain language, avoiding jargon and technical terms. We will also actively seek input and feedback from our partners representing marginalized communities to inform the final outcome.
