About Section
We are a social enterprise founded in 2024 that is working on becoming an SEC-registered internet investment adviser firm once we have secured the funding.
Professional ethics is the foundation to build up long-term trust and foster cooperation with social harmony and justice. As a social enterprise startup using advanced technology to create positive impacts, ethics is the core value we constantly know and improve.
CFA Code of Ethics
There are lots of conflicts of interest in the financial industry. Conflicts of interest will slow the progress toward their expected goals or even guide them in the opposite direction. As a climate finance startup, minimizing the conflict of interest is our top priority.
At Optivide, we commit to making every reasonable effort to adopt the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct (Code and Standards) to protect professional ethics and encourage market trust. Our policies, systems, and work processes are designed to support our users receive fair dealing outcomes.

Gamification Ethics
The essence of gamification is to encourage people to overcome the unnecessary challenges they face in their daily lives through voluntary participation. If we could leverage the skill in the voluntary carbon credit industry, we may unlock the wider stakeholder climate engagement from ecotourism, community job creation, and women empowerment.
At Optivide, we follow the Open Gamification Code of Ethics in the explicit/implicit gamification design and ensure users are fully informed about the game's purposes and mechanism. Our goal is to create a safe and fair user environment that:
- Respect user autonomy with culturally appropriate manners
- Be transparent, inclusive, and accessible with human rights.
- Avoid manipulative tactics with psychological vulnerabilities.

Technology-AI Ethical Statement(Upcoming)
Artificial intelligence(AI) is the core advanced technology that we use in our solution. To ensure our solution is ethical, responsible, and inclusion, here are some actions we practice:
- System Transparency: We will provide clear documentation of the AI's objectives, limitations, and potential biases with regular audits to minimize unintended risks. Some of our marketing activities may leverage external AI tools and services to enhance our marketing outcomes.
- Bias and Fairness: Bias is not incorrect but incomplete. At Optivide, we treat all individuals equally with equitable manners and basic human rights. The data used for model training will come from multiple resources and personalized information with our user's explicit consent. For the model output, we will focus on the financial and climate goals that our users aspire to achieve regardless of their ethnicity, geographic location, or work class. While our responses will be tailored to each user's preferences with customized information, we cautiously make diverse perspectives visible in our suggestions.
- Explainable Responses: Explainable responses build up long-term user trust, especially when it comes to financial planning that are highly personal and sensitive. Accordingly, we actively participate in MLCommons, and NVIDIA communities to learn the best industry practices for performance robustness and reliability.
- Data Training: Without your explicit consent, we will not use your data to train or improve our RAG agent. For more information about our privacy policy, please visit here: https://optivide.com/privacypolicy
- Greenhouse Gases: GHG emissions will grow as our business expands. To mitigate the adverse effects, we commit to using more renewable energy along with our business growth. In addition, we follow up with organizations such as the Green Software Foundation, Eco-Friendly Web Alliance, etc, to adopt the best sustainability practices in the future.
Through this statement, we affirm the need to build better AI systems that will benefit society.
