Hello. We understand you have a query around this and we understand it in all probability is whether the stated intention/action is ethical. However, for the same ethical reason, we wouldn’t wish to assume the question. So, it would be great if you could add details to your query, and we’d be happy to respond to that.
Until then, you may wish to refer to the following resources around ethics:
