Full Title or Meme

A Fiduciary is someone who manages money or other property for someone else. When you're named a fiduciary and accept the role, you must – by law – manage the person's property for their benefit, not yours.

Duties

The five fiduciary duties are:

  1. Duty of loyalty: Fiduciaries must act in good faith and put the interests of the business or corporation first, above their own personal interests.
  2. Duty of care: Fiduciaries accept legal responsibility for the care they provide.
  3. Duty of confidentiality: Fiduciaries must keep confidential any information that could weaken the principal's bargaining position.
  4. Duty of good faith: Fiduciaries must act with honesty, good faith, and fairness when handling corporate obligations.
  5. Duty of obedience: Fiduciaries must carry out the organization's mission.

Context - Data

Operating under the assumption that people now own or will acquire ownership of data about themselves then it should be a natural extension to image that data fiduciaries might operate on the owners behalf like ASCAP works on behalf of composers and publishers.
