Molly Schaeffer from OASO explains how they ensure compliance with privacy laws in the context of mail rooms for newcomers in shelters.

  • The same privacy system used for all data is applied to mail handling
  • Each site currently manages its own mail
  • Staff with access to mail room data are required to follow all existing data privacy provisions
  • The procedures for mail handling will not differ from other operational privacy procedures in place

I mean, each site right now does manage mail, and so that is also part of the privacy that we use for all of our data.

The staff that has access to mail room data will only will be required to follow all of our data privacy provisions.
