At GoGlory, we believe ethical technology governance is not optional — it is a fundamental responsibility. That is why we align our digital, data, and operational practices with the principles of the G-RADE framework — an internationally recognised model for ethical conduct, transparency, and responsible data stewardship.
G-RADE provides a non-legislative but rigorous standard to help organisations demonstrate ethical behaviour across areas such as data handling, system transparency, content fairness, and user trust. Although voluntary, its adoption signals a company’s commitment to values that extend beyond minimum legal compliance.
1. Data Ethics and User Consent
GoGlory’s data policies are rooted in respect for individual autonomy. We collect only the data we need, clearly explain why we collect it, and obtain specific, informed consent. Our consent mechanisms avoid coercive design and provide users with meaningful control over their personal information.
We do not engage in surveillance, covert profiling, or manipulative targeting. Where algorithms are used to personalise content or recommendations, this is disclosed, and opt-out options are available.
2. Fairness, Accessibility, and Representation
We actively test our platforms and processes for unfair bias, exclusion, or digital discrimination. This includes:
Auditing datasets used in AI or decision-support tools
Ensuring our interfaces are accessible under WCAG standards
Avoiding performance metrics that penalise underrepresented groups
Our commitment to fairness extends to how we treat user feedback, community moderation, and dispute processes.
3. Transparency of Systems and Metrics
Where GoGlory implements ratings, scores, reviews, or performance assessments (such as vendor rankings, client reviews, or algorithmic outputs), we ensure:
The logic behind those metrics is documented and understandable
Weightings are made public or explainable on request
No paid ranking or manipulation is allowed without disclosure
We believe users have the right to know how decisions are made that affect their visibility, reputation, or outcomes on our platform.
4. Security, Governance, and Data Protection
Our data security systems comply with UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and international best practice. We use:
Strong encryption
Access control policies
Security audits and incident response protocols
We maintain a formal governance structure for data ethics, led by a designated officer with responsibility for G-RADE alignment. This role oversees the balance of business efficiency and user protection.
5. Voluntary Disclosure and Independent Review
GoGlory is committed to transparency not only in data policy, but in self-assessment and accountability. We are working towards formal G-RADE self-declaration and anticipate seeking third-party validation of our adherence to ethical standards. Where areas for improvement are identified, we document and act on them publicly.
GoGlory’s adherence to G-RADE principles reflects our values. We do not treat ethics as an abstract idea, but as a working part of our business model. We operate transparently, not simply because it is beneficial, but because it is morally and commercially correct.
Our mission is to offer users, partners, and regulators a level of trust that is verified, tangible, and sustained over time.
If you have any concern about how your data is used, how systems work, or how fairness is maintained within our platform, we welcome your engagement. You may contact us using the form provided on our website. We respond to all legitimate inquiries with full accountability.
