I am a scientist who studies the human self. I need data. I want to build an app where people feel comfortable sharing that data.
I want individuals to use the app every day for their entire adult life.
The value to the user must be real.
It comes in the form of greater self-knowledge.
Self-actualization is the ideal.
Users will contribute to scientific understanding of the human condition.
The cost to the user will be low or zero.
The user is not the product.
There will be no ads ever.
An anonymized dataset will be freely available for research.
Individuals' data will never be sold.
The code that runs the app will be open-source.
I commit to these statements, and should be held accountable for any breach.
