The Alliance for Responsible Data Collection (“ARDC”) is an inter-industry alliance of thought
leaders from businesses, non-profits, and academia aligned on a mission to establish responsible
data collection standards and guidelines that:
1. Provide data collectors with guidance on best practices on how collections are carried
out.
2. Offer third parties a reliable means to assess the responsible sourcing of data.
3. Preserve open access to public internet data and prevent data monopolization.
Participants in ARDC represent diverse data usage models and share the common goal of
ensuring open access to public data within a trusted framework. Our discussions have included
contributions from Author’s Alliance, Bright Data, Common Crawl, OpenAI, Sequentum, Stanford
CodeX, and others.
