We will only utilise data when we are analysing potential opportunities to deliver improvements in the rail industry.
We will ensure that any data analysis and generated outputs are compliant with data sharing and commercial agreements that are in place.
We will only input personal identifiable data into a model where it is absolutely necessary. When doing so, we will ensure that outputs are aggregated to a level that does not permit personal data to be viewed.

Data OwnershipOur analysis will typically involve the ingestion of datasets which have been provided by RSSB members and affiliates, rail industry bodies, and other third parties. While we are not responsible for the quality of the data received, we will monitor this to ensure there is no data drift.

Honest AlgorithmsWe will ensure that we produce reliable outputs from our data analyses, and design investigations, develop models, and deploy them in a manner that removes potential bias.
