Our Government Affairs Team champions data trust, access and choice for AI, customers and consumers through policy, influence and partnerships.
People should be able to know how their data is used and to access or delete it, and everyone who handles that data should protect it.
Data should stay in the control of those who create it and rely on it, not the systems that store it.
Data shouldn’t be trapped in closed formats or systems.
Reliable, well-governed data is what makes AI and every other technology accountable.
Privacy and data rules should protect people everywhere without creating costs that only the largest companies can afford.
Every decision, service, and AI system depends on data: where it comes from, how it moves, and whether it can be trusted. These pages set out what we believe about data, how it works, and the issues we think deserve attention.


It’s our shorthand for a simple idea: the people and organizations behind data should be able to use it, trust it, and take it with them. Freedom depends on trust, so it goes together with protecting people and treating organizations of every size fairly.
Data passes through three stages on its way to being useful
Fivetran’s government affairs team talks with policymakers, researchers, standards groups, and community organizations to understand how data is used in the real world. We want to work alongside them, and we’re listening. We expect these principles to evolve.
