# Developer Ethics
|
|
|
|
Kanidm is a project that will store, process and present people's personal data. This means we have
|
|
a responsibility to respect the data of all people who could be using our system - many who interact
|
|
indirectly or do not have a choice in this platform.
|
|
|
|
## Rights of people
|
|
|
|
All people using this software should expect to have the right to:
|
|
|
|
- Self control over their data, including the ability to alter or delete at any time.
|
|
- Free from harmful discrimination of any kind
|
|
- Informed consent over control and privacy of their data, including access and understand data held
|
|
and shared on their behalf
|
|
- To be able to use and access this software regardless of ability, culture or language.
|
|
|
|
## Examples of situations for consideration
|
|
|
|
### Ability to be forgotten
|
|
|
|
#### Deletion is delete not flagging
|
|
|
|
When an account is deleted it must be truly deleted, not just flagged for future delete. Note that
|
|
some functionality like the recycle bin, we must keep the account details, but a recycle bin purge
|
|
does truly delete the account.
|
|
|
|
### Self determination and autonomy
|
|
|
|
#### Self name change
|
|
|
|
People should be able to change their own name at anytime. Consider divorce, leaving abusive
|
|
partners or other personal decisions around why a name change is relevant.
|
|
|
|
This is why names are self-service writeable at any time.
|
|
|
|
### Free from harmful discrimination of any kind
|
|
|
|
#### Cultural and Social awareness of name formats
|
|
|
|
All name fields should be case sensitive utf8 with no max or min length limit. This is because names
|
|
can take many forms such as.
|
|
|
|
- firstname middlename lastname
|
|
- firstname lastname
|
|
- firstname firstname lastname
|
|
- firstname lastname lastname
|
|
- firstname
|
|
- middlename lastname
|
|
- lastname firstname
|
|
|
|
And many many more that are not listed here. This is why our names are displayName as a freetext
|
|
UTF8 field, with case sensitivity and no limits.
|
|
|
|
### Informed consent and Privacy of their data
|
|
|
|
#### Access to legalName field
|
|
|
|
legalName should only be on a "need to know" basis, and only collected if required. This is to help
|
|
people who may be stalked or harassed, or otherwise conscious of their privacy.
|
|
|
|
### To use and access this software regardless of ability
|
|
|
|
## Questions?
|
|
|

|
|
what we are doing.
