The principles ProsperApps intends to use as real operating constraints.

This is the basis ProsperApps is using to shape product design, data practices, pricing behavior, company incentives, and leadership choices. It is not meant as decorative positioning. It is meant to influence what the company actually builds and how it behaves.

Level 1

Trust through portability, privacy, healthy UX, and quality retention

The first level guarantees that customers and users are never treated as trapped inventory to be mined for short-term gain.

Interoperability, portability, and full ownership and control of your own data so you are never locked into ProsperApps if you would rather move elsewhere.
Respect for privacy and sensitive data, with a commitment to ask for no more than what is genuinely necessary to deliver high-quality solutions.
A commitment to healthy and beneficial UX patterns rather than manipulative dark patterns that exploit pressure, addiction, misinformation, or polarization.
A commitment to maintain and improve service quality rather than degrading products to serve unrelated priorities whenever that is within our control.

Level 2

Broad responsibility beyond the narrow transaction

The second level extends the promise beyond the software itself to the external effects of how the company operates.

A commitment to care broadly about customers, users, the societies we operate in, and the health of the planet.
A commitment to minimize negative externalities from operations, product decisions, growth choices, and supply chains where possible.
A genuine intent for our solutions to make the world better rather than merely extracting revenue from it.

Level 3

Foundation ownership and rejection of private excess

The third level changes who benefits from success and rejects the ownership logic that normally drives platform extraction.

Significant profits from operations do not flow to an elite group of private owners, but to a public-benefit charity or foundation; in ProsperApps' case, the Prosper Foundation.
No corporate excesses or absurd executive compensation. People should be paid well for responsibility, competence, and contribution, but not funded into private-jet and megayacht absurdity.
A long-horizon operating model where mission integrity matters more than maximizing short-term extraction from customers and users.

How to read it

Each higher level adds obligations rather than replacing the lower ones.

The declaration should influence architecture, data handling, customer treatment, growth choices, and staffing decisions.
Level 1 covers trust, portability, privacy, healthier UX, and quality retention.
Level 2 adds broader responsibility for external effects and real-world consequences.
Level 3 changes who ultimately benefits from success and what the company is incentivized to optimize for.
