Ethical

Establishes the behavioral norms and practical ethical guidelines the entity and its members must follow.

Ethical guidelines provide a practical framework for participants and agents to follow while interacting within the Ambassador Program. These guidelines include:

• Transparency & Accountability – Decision-making processes, resource allocation, and governance must be open and accessible.

• Consent & Data Protection – Users must have control over their data, and privacy must be respected.

• Decentralised Power & Governance – No single entity should hold excessive power, and decisions should be distributed across participants.

• Collaboration Over Competition – The system encourages cooperative behaviour rather than zero-sum competition.

• Sustainability & Long-Term Thinking – Ethical decisions should prioritize the well-being of the ecosystem over short-term gains.
