Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative Launches Certification Program

Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative

The Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI) is an industry-led consortium of web data collectors focused on strengthening public trust, promoting ethical guidelines, and helping businesses and their customers make informed data extraction choices. The association aims to raise the bar for ethics in the process widely known as “data scraping” with the goal of enhancing trust—a key component of a free, fair, and open Internet. This international, industry-led, and member-driven consortium is announcing an accreditation program developed to bring greater accountability and build consumer confidence in the data collection industry. Over the past several months, the EWDCI has collaborated on a set of core web scraping principles that revolve around legality, ethics, ecosystem engagement, and social responsibility, inviting everyone from across the globe to participate in the development of these principles. The EWDCI launched a public comment period to gather insights that zero in on the most important concerns of companies and individuals about how data is gathered and used. We are proud to announce the launch of the EWDCI accreditation program, wherein eligible companies can receive an EWDCI Certified designation. All companies that receive the EWDCI Certified designation are showing the world that they adhere to these agreed-upon principles and the highest degree of ethics when collecting public web data, while also further advancing the industry’s best practices and accountability. Starting today, companies may apply to become EWDCI Certified. We encourage companies who collect and manage web data to join the consortium—and, most importantly, join the conversation to further develop these principles. The inaugural group of web data aggregators that have earned EWDCI accreditation includes Coresignal, Oxylabs, ProxyEmpire, Rayobyte, Smartproxy, and Zyte. The EWDCI Certified designation isn’t so much the result of our work but rather the culmination of the first stage of a longer process. The web data collection industry is still young, but it’s growing very quickly. As more data-hungry AI tools fall into corporate and private hands, there is a limited opportunity to shape how data-collection practices are developed and perceived. This is why the EWDCI is dedicated to defining positive and beneficial uses of the important abilities and potential of data collection and aggregation at scale. The EWDCI is now focused on furthering the consortium’s mission and scope of practice through the acquisition of public commentary on various topics, which include: How scraped data can be used to ethically train large language models (LLMs) and generative AI models Government access to data and due process Balance between scrapers and target websites Privacy compliance when scraping personal data Preventing tactics that undermine consent and consumer choice Anti-stalkerware efforts “The EWDCI seal is a crucial stamp of approval, but it’s also a way to build industry-led influence with a clear goal of making the free and open Internet a better and safer place,” said Christian Dawson, Executive Director of the i2Coalition. Companies working with web data collection can earn the EWDCI Certified designation by contacting Hilary Osborne at hilary@i2coalition.com. About the Ethical Web Data Aggregation Integrity Initiative The Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI) seeks to foster cooperation in the web data collection and aggregation industry and leverage collective first-hand knowledge and insights to advocate for beneficial technical standards and business best practices regarding the extraction of web data. The EWDCI is dedicated to serving as the voice of the industry, collaboratively strengthening public trust in the practice of data scraping, promoting ethical guidelines, and helping businesses make informed data extraction choices.

Revenue Management Solutions, iMotions Partner to Unlock Revenue Opportunities through Menu Optimization

Revenue Management Solutions

Revenue Management Solutions (RMS), a global provider of data-driven analytics and tech-enabled solutions for restaurants, has partnered with iMotions, the world's leading software platform for studying the drivers behind human behavior, to deploy the latest human behavior technologies to improve menu engineering and unlock revenue opportunities. The partnership connects restaurant brands with the iMotions software suite, an advanced human behavior research tool with cloud data collection features. iMotions’ unique cloud-based solution uses a participant’s own webcam and a browser interface to collect data using eye tracking, facial expression and emotion recognition technologies, allowing for research to be deployed among any audience at any time, anywhere in the world. RMS then analyzes the research, giving restaurant brands exclusive access to unique metrics like the RMS Focus Score™, which quantifies consumers’ focus across the menu using multiple factors such as average duration and revisits to specific locations on the menu. The research can reveal what information consumers are truly processing on restaurant menus versus simply skimming the content. Restaurant brands gain a clearer understanding of how participants view online restaurant menus and the factors influencing their ordering behavior. RMS then applies more than 25 years of industry-leading data analytics expertise for some of the world’s largest restaurant brands to uncover opportunities for menu optimization and profit potential. “The way consumers engage with restaurants has completely transformed, but many menus are still designed based on pre-digital guidelines,” said Ryan Garner, Director of Research and Consumer Analytics at RMS. “Our pilot study identified clear gaze paths, dead spots and hot spots in digital restaurant menus — information we can translate into profit-building menu insights for our clients.” RMS and iMotions conducted the first pilot study using online eye-tracking and online facial expression analysis in late 2022, confirming that the medium affects where consumers begin when viewing an online menu (gaze paths), what they skip (dead spots) and where they spend their time (hot spots). RMS also tested when customers are most open to suggestive selling and what types of content are most impactful. These insights challenged conventional industry practices and allowed for advancement in menu engineering, all designed to drive profitability. “The restaurant business is the latest industry to recognize how the study of nonconscious behaviors using biometric technologies can challenge conventional wisdom and unlock new opportunities,” said Peter Hartzbech, iMotions Founder and CEO. “Consumer preferences, habits and lifestyles constantly evolve, and what were once impactful perspectives change. Those willing to tap into these modern tools and technologies will better understand today’s consumers and emerge most successful, while those who choose to stick with the status quo will fall behind.” The announcement builds on a collaboration that first began in 2019 with revolutionary menu design research in labs at the University of South Florida’s Muma College of Business. The study was regarded as the most comprehensive consumer menu ordering examination in 30 years.

This Renewable Energy Company Eliminates The Barriers To Clean Energy Transition By Financing And Managing The Projects For Its Customers

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga As demand for renewables continues to grow amid soaring fossil fuel prices and increasingly unreliable grid infrastructure, Correlate Energy Corp. (OTCQB: CIPI) seems to be positioning itself as a key player in the emerging clean energy market. The distributed energy company that provides custom clean energy solutions at no upfront cost to commercial customers reported over $4.1 million in revenue in its second quarter, representing a significant increase over the same quarter last year when it brought in $236,690 in revenue. Here’s a look at how Correlate’s business model works and what it’s looking forward to in the months ahead. Correlate Removes The Barriers Of Cost And Complexity When Transitioning To Renewable Energy Correlate’s service starts with an in-depth audit of a customer’s existing energy usage and goals. From there, the distributed energy company develops a customized operating strategy that might include a mix of solar installations, battery storage and other microgrid infrastructure along with energy efficiency upgrades and utility contracts. That mix is tailored to the company with the goal of not just helping it transition to clean energy but doing so in a way that both cuts costs and generates positive cash flow. Once the strategy is finalized, Correlate takes it a step further by collaborating with its existing network of solution providers and co-developers to actually implement those solutions at a cost-effective price, nationwide – while also often providing 100% financing so that Correlate’s customers aren’t paying any upfront costs. In May, for example, Correlate announced that it had secured $11.9 million in financing to build a 5.2-megawatt solar project for the EnerSys headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania. Installation began in Q3, and when completed, it will become one of the largest commercial solar installations in Pennsylvania to date. In July, the company announced a joint venture with eDGe Renewable Partners to deploy up to $100 million in initial financing as well as technical and engineering resources to support solar energy projects and microgrid infrastructure nationwide for partners. After implementation, Correlate continues to work with that customer to monitor and maintain that new energy system using the company’s proprietary systems. For customers, this model eliminates the complexity, time and upfront costs of transitioning to clean energy. For Correlate, it helps reduce that initial resistance to making that transition while forming multiyear relationships with customers that could yield future sales opportunities. Renewable Energy Is Rapidly Becoming More Affordable Over The Long Term Compared To Fossil Fuel In an interview with Financial Survival Network, Correlate CEO Todd Michaels spoke about the rising costs and increasing volatility and unpredictability that come with existing non-renewable fuel sources like oil, coal, or natural gas. “The compounded average increase on electricity is 7% right now,” Michaels said. “It might go down one year because of some change. But on a compounded basis, it has never gone down since the 70s.” Meanwhile, a renewable source like solar has not only gotten cheaper over the years as technology advances, it gets even cheaper over the long term because generating your own power eliminates the risk of fluctuating fuel input costs. Moreover, with a microgrid – a series of technologies that give you the option to switch between pulling power from the grid or pulling it from your power source – you’re no longer at the mercy of a centralized grid that could be taken down by, say, a wildfire if you’re in California or a heat wave if you’re in Texas. “If the grid goes down because of a weather event,” Michaels explained. “You can choose to go off the grid and operate your own with your own sources of generation, storage, and managing your loads.” What was once relegated to a handful of early adopters has now become something that just makes economic sense. However, the cost of installing that clean energy infrastructure and the complexity of navigating a renewable energy industry that is still highly fragmented and confusing have become huge barriers even for companies who want to make the transition. That’s why Correlate provides a service as comprehensive as it does. By offering 100% financed solutions and coordinating the installation and monitoring and maintenance afterward, Correlate makes it as easy as possible for companies to achieve their energy goals. Moving forward, Correlate will make that unique approach even more cost-effective through its upcoming M&A strategy aimed at scaling its operations and services to improve efficiency and expand its range of solutions. “There’s a huge opportunity to work with decade-old businesses that are doing good work but don’t have sophisticated systems and processes, the ability to raise capital, or the project finance team to help fund their projects,” Michaels said during the interview. To help structure those potential partnerships and acquisitions, it appointed Eli Albrecht to its board of directors last month. The acclaimed M&A lawyer with extensive experience in the renewable energy sector will help the company drive roll-up opportunities in the highly fragmented clean energy landscape.

Copper Prices Rebound As Global Clean Energy Transition Drives Diversified Demand Growth

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga After erasing the solid July gains both made in July in the first half of August, both copper and copper mining stocks seem to be rebounding in the second half of the month. The slide in the first half of the month came as China posted weaker-than-expected imports and exports for July, including declining vehicle sales and a dip in copper imports. The decline in copper prices was short-lived, though, as the overall market sentiment on the metal seems to have reversed despite the weak economic data from China last month. Like many of the metals needed in the clean energy transition, copper is rallying on the growing urgency and capital investment in reducing fossil fuel dependence. Copper is not only an important material in batteries, but also in a wide range of other components of energy storage tech and the electricity grid. A recent report from Trading Economics highlighted the dip in copper futures prices but pointed out that price levels did not decrease too far due to “market players flagged large incoming copper deficits, with current production levels failing to keep up with increasing demand for electrification”. Copper Markets Are Becoming Less Dependent On Chinese Demand For the last twenty years or so, copper prices have been largely driven by Chinese demand. The nation accounts for half of the global demand for the metal as its rapidly expanding economy created a massive need for copper to build the electrical infrastructure to power new and increasingly industrialized cities. That’s why the weaker-than-expected Chinese economic data at the start of the month were able to wipe out copper’s July gains so quickly. But, as the current rebound in prices reveals, market sentiment on the metal is gradually becoming less tethered to Chinese demand. As economies all over the globe look to transition away from fossil fuels, they’re investing more in infrastructure upgrades and new technologies that will enable them to meet their energy needs with clean and renewable sources. Many of those upgrades and new technologies are going to require copper. As such, demand for the metal is not just expected to grow but to diversify, making slight fluctuations in Chinese consumption less impactful on the overall copper market. The Critical Minerals Market Review estimates that achieving net zero emissions by 2050 — the target set by the 196 parties that signed the Paris Agreement in 2015 — global copper consumption will need to grow 60% by 2040. Meanwhile, like many other critical metals, supplies are low and struggling to keep up even with current demand levels. As demand continues to outstrip supply, miners could potentially enjoy significant revenue growth on rising copper prices, and the ones that can find new sources and open up new mines could generate strong returns for investors. Add Clean Energy Transition Exposure To Your Portfolio With Sprott ETFs Sprott Asset Management, an asset management firm that’s been focused on precious metals for decades, now offers two ETFs for investors who want broad exposure to the potential copper boom. Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (NYSEARCA: COPJ) tracks an index of exploration or early-stage copper miners while Sprott Energy Transition Materials ETF (NYSEARCA: SETM) tracks a broad portfolio of metals and other minerals that are playing a key role in the transition to a net zero economy.
