Principles

Summary by DeepSeek:

Cybersecurity: Protects systems and user data from unauthorized access and manipulation throughout the entire data lifecycle. It is a fundamental prerequisite for the responsible operation of any digital solution.

Data Protection (Privacy): Upholds privacy as part of human dignity and a prerequisite for digital self-determination, giving users control over their data. It requires a "privacy by design" approach, making providers accountable for how they protect personal information.

Data Fairness: Ensures that non-personal data is protected according to its value while also defining mechanisms for fair and transferable data exchange between parties. This fosters balanced cooperation and data fairness within digital ecosystems.

Algorithmic Trust: Demands that all data processing, from simple algorithms to complex autonomous systems, is comprehensible, fair, and trustworthy. This ensures the responsible use of data-driven decision-making.

Transparency: Calls for proactive transparency for users and all stakeholders regarding the principles, components, and processes behind digital products and services. This openness is key to building trust and accountability.

Human Identity & Responsibility: Places the preservation of multifaceted human identity at the core of digital development, ensuring technology is human-centered, inclusive, and ethically sensitive. It maintains that digital products must respect human agency and dignity at all times.

Digital Literacy & Access: Promotes unrestricted and competent access to digital services and infrastructure for everyone. This goal ensures that all individuals can participate in the digital world in a sovereign and self-determined manner.
