Consent, mental privacy, and dataset-controller chains are operational baselines, not afterthoughts. See the ethics page for the full statement, the empirical limits on non-invasive decoding, and the per-track consent posture.
The prize pool is funded by the track sponsors and the host organisation; the host institutions cover top-3 travel for every track. Every sponsor is listed on the homepage with their contribution.
