Integrated Ethics & Privacy Protection
SPIRIT proactively monitors and analyses system activities in order to ensure that system activities are logged and auditable, and it analyses, identifies and mitigates activities that are identified as being of concern regarding ethics and privacy requirements and expectations. To this end, the ethics and privacy protection subsystem is integrated as a cross-cutting mechanism throughout the whole SPIRIT platform, and a dedicated Privacy Controller module implements analytics and intervention functionalities as part of the platform.
