The mission of the Alliance for Responsible Data Collection is to preserve access to public internet data by providing a trusted framework for responsible data collection.

Our work:
1. Standards & Guidelines
Providing data collectors guidance on best practices for public internet data collection. Offering data users reliable means to assess the responsible sourcing of data. Educating members on emerging legal, regulatory, and industry trends.
2. Advocacy
Amplifying the collective voice of diverse stakeholders representing a wide range of public data usage models. Educating policy makers, regulators and government agencies on industry data collection, governance, and compliance best practices.
3. Applications and Tools
Enabling sustainable best practices to enhance transparency, accountability and choice.

The Alliance members represent a cross-section of industry leaders, scholars, and thought leaders, from businesses and
non-profit organizations that collect public web data to businesses that provide tools and technology to enable
data collection to organizations that acquire and use public web data collected by others.
