Council Member Gutiérrez inquires about the consent process for data sharing in the MyCity childcare application. Matthew Fraser explains the opt-in nature of the consent process.

  • Users can opt out of sharing their information beyond the scope of the childcare application
  • There is a consent process as part of filling out the application
  • Users can still set up a profile and apply for childcare services without consenting to broader data sharing

Is it possible for someone who is interested in filling out the childcare application to not agree to the permission to allow their information to be shared?
0:55:22
With other applications.
0:55:24
So if it's someone that's just like, I don't I I just wanna apply for childcare.
0:55:28
I do not wanna I don't want the city to share any of that information.
0:55:31
I don't want you to evaluate assess what what else I call pipe, or is that an option?
0:55:36
Or for someone to utilize the portal, apply, they have to agree to that term.
Matthew Fraser
0:55:43
Yeah.
0:55:43
