Okay.
2:29:07
Thank you.
2:29:08
I have just one more question and this is regarding my city.
2:29:14
Do your best here.
2:29:16
This is just specific to information that MyCity which is the the city's one stop shop administered by Do It or OTI.
2:29:26
At a previous hearing, they had shared, that the data sharing is mostly governed by the identifying information writer.
2:29:37
And so my question is they they shared that if PD needs some of this data information, obviously, they make the request to the agency.
2:29:48
My question is what is the process for NYPD to request data to this this particular vendor whose information, whose data was collected through the MyCity portal.
2:30:00
Are you familiar with the MyCity portal?
Michael Gerber
2:30:02
I'm not.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
2:30:03
Okay.
2:30:04
Okay.
2:30:04
I mean, it was launched like a year and a half ago.
2:30:06
It's essentially right now, it's mainly like for people looking for childcare options, looking to apply for a three ks spot.
2:30:16
But there is personal information that is collected on that site.
2:30:19
And so part of our concern obviously is what does the city do with this data that's collected.
2:30:25
There's also a portion of it for like small businesses, which is a little wonky, but that is like the purpose of the site.
2:30:32
But it's this administration's like big thing.
Michael Gerber
2:30:34
Right.
2:30:35
And is your question basically whether and if so how the department, like, requests data from this site?
2:30:41
Is that the
Jennifer Gutiérrez
2:30:42
Yes.
2:30:43
If they need to request if they're requesting information or data from OTI from the MyCity portal.
Michael Gerber
2:30:50
Yeah.
2:30:50
So I don't know the answer to that, but we can get back to you on that.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
2:30:53
Okay.
2:31:05
Okay.
2:31:06
Okay.
2:31:06
We can follow-up.
2:31:07
I think I'm all I think I'm all done.
2:31:10
I'll pass it to chair.
2:31:12
