As a rights-based organization, Oxfam is committed to using data responsibly in order to uphold the rights of the individuals, groups, and organizations with whom we work. Using data responsibly is not just an issue of technical security and encryption but also of safeguarding the rights of people to be counted and heard; ensure their dignity, respect and privacy; enable them to make informed decisions; and not be put at risk, when providing data.
Oxfam recognizes that people have rights with regards to the information related to them and that Oxfam has a responsibility to uphold those rights. The rights that form the backbone of this policy are: A Right to be counted and heard B Right to dignity and respect C Right to make an informed decision D Right to privacy E Right to not be put at risk
