Ensure the quality of the entire research work, avoid information distortion, and explain the methods used in the research
Within a certain period of time, do not provide similar project services to similar customers; or make relevant agreements in advance

Fully respect and voluntarily participate in the survey; it is necessary to tell the respondents the research background
Keep the identity of the respondents and the contents of the interviews confidential to ensure that no one is adversely affected after the survey is completed
Research should not be designed to be potentially risky or involve vulnerable groups, and ensure that information is not used for other purposes
For enterprises (clients), it is reflected in
In the spirit of the agreement, no excuses can be used to delay payment or refuse payment.
Integrity, you cannot give the research report to another company and let it propose solutions based on it; you cannot also obtain free research plans or solutions from other companies under the pretense of project needs.
Publish research results fairly and do not take them out of context or make misleading reports
You can also refer to the ethical principles that should be followed when collecting data proposed by Heber.
