code of ethics for their members.

The IEEE code of ethics emphasizes the importance of

professional responsibility, competence, integrity, and
fairness. It also encourages members to be honest and to
uphold the public trust. It requires members to strive for
objectivity in their work and to avoid conflicts of interest.

understandable terms of service, and promoting transparency

rules also promote responsible research and development

By adhering to these standards, software development
companies can protect the rights of their employees,
customers, and other stakeholders.
