Governance & Safeguards
KindPath is sovereignty-first by design. Consent, refusal, data ownership, and interpretability are structural requirements.
We don't build surveillance tools. We don't score people. Consent and refusal are structural. Communities retain ownership and interpretive authority.
Non-negotiables
Informed Consent
Consent is informed, specific, revocable, and recorded.
Right to Refusal
Refusal is a valid outcome — without penalty.
Community Ownership
Communities retain ownership and interpretive authority.
No Black Boxes
No black-box decisioning. Algorithms must be interpretable.
No Scoring Humans
Metrics are field indicators, not moral judgements.
Auditable Exports
Exports are auditable and portable.
