Transparency Center

How this platform earns trust

Everything V.O.I.C.E. commits to — how research is done, how privacy is protected, how data is kept, how findings are reported, who pays, and how mistakes get fixed — lives here, with each safeguard honestly labeled.

Proposed, implemented, verified — what the labels mean

Proposed

We've committed to this, but it isn't built yet. Treat it as a promise, not a fact.

Implemented

This is live in the platform today. You can check it in the code or the interface.

Verified

An independent party has checked that this works as described. Nothing has reached this stage yet.

Nothing in this Center is labeled “verified” yet. No independent party has audited V.O.I.C.E.’s methods or systems, and we won’t imply otherwise. When independent verification happens, it will be recorded here — with the reviewer’s name and what they checked.
