Welcome on the website of the EU funded project ETHICAL. The term ETHICAL is the acronym for "Promoting International Debate on Ethical Implications of Data collection, use and retention for Biometric and Medical Applications".

The ETHICAL vision is an international consensus on the ethical use of personal data as a basic human right in the information society.

The ETHICAL mission is to be an effective mechanism for societal partners’ engagement in enhancing the debate on ethical implications of data collection, use and retention in medical and biometric applications, in order to create a consensus and a roadmap towards a secure environment and simultaneously no compromise in human rights respect.
