The Domain Awareness Center was constrained last year to the Port of Oakland, and not allowed to come online until a privacy policy was put in place.
The privacy policy has been written, and will come before the City Council beginning on February 10th.
The Privacy Policy Committee and the Oakland Privacy Working Group have been working hard to make sure the privacy policy is very strong and it has become a national model. Now support is needed so that it won’t be watered down by the Council!
The Privacy Policy Committee will also recommend to the City Council that the Privacy Policy for the DAC be extended to Oakland (currently Oakland has no privacy policy), and also that the City Council adopt an “open” surveillance equipment acquisition ordinance.
Come learn more about all of this and how you can help keep privacy alive in Oakland.
