GainForest Data Council

The GainForest Data Council is a group of community representatives and GainForest team members working together to create and manage data policies. We believe that everyone should have a voice in how data is handled, ensuring transparency, fairness, and ethical data practices.

Data Council Members

The council consists of three GainForest representatives and three regional representatives from our community partners. Each member brings unique experiences and insights to guide our data governance efforts.

GainForest Representatives:

  • Dr David Dao (Co-founder and Chief Scientist, GainForest)

  • Sharfy Adamantine (Co-founder and Chief Engineering & Product, GainForest)

  • Nurfatin Hamzah (Community Manager, GainForest)

Regional Representatives:

  • Simon Peter Okoth (Region: Africa)

  • Gabriel Nunes (Region: Latin America)

  • Justine Bual (Region: Asia-Pacific)

Why is Data Governance Important?

Data governance is essential to ensure that data is used responsibly and ethically. This includes:

  • Respecting privacy rights.

  • Ensuring data quality and integrity.

  • Allowing community partners to have a say in how their data is managed.

  • Promoting transparency and fairness in data-sharing agreements.

How Does the Data Council Work?

The Data Council meets to discuss data-related concerns, gather feedback, and co-create data-related policies. Our goal is to make data-sharing fair and transparent for all stakeholders.

GainForest Data Policy

The GainForest Data Policy is a set of guidelines developed by the Data Council after thorough discussions. It ensures ethical data management and transparency by outlining how data is collected, shared, and used, while prioritizing the rights and interests of our community partners.

How Can Community Partners Provide Feedback?

Community partners are encouraged to share their feedback or raise concerns by reaching out to:

  • Nurfatin Hamzah, GainForest Community Manager

  • Their regional representative
