DataEthics (Dataetisk Tænkehandletank) is a non-profit, politically independent think-and-do tank based in Denmark with a European outreach. Founded in 2015, it works to promote data-ethical products, services and policy. Its activities include producing research and knowledge on data ethics, privacy, AI ethics and digital sovereignty; advising businesses and public bodies; and publishing newsletters, white papers, reports and lists of alternative privacy tools.
