Q:3 Are We Taking a Comprehensive Approach to Managing Data Collection and Use? Yes
If the project moves forward, all solutions will:
1. Comply with existing and future legislative and regulatory requirements
2. Comply with Waterfront Toronto Digital Principles & emerging Intelligent Community Guidelines
3. Incorporate Privacy by Design
32
4. Be subject to Privacy Impact Assessments
5. Be subject to Threat Risk Assessments
6. Be subject to Algorithmic Impact Assessments
7. Requirements will be enforced by contract
![Page 29: Public Consultation Meeting - Quayside · What we heard in July Focus on 12 acres Demonstrate if/how Waterfront Toronto objectives can be met at Quayside Have strong public control](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070909/5f8ff92d1a71e63e3f311a86/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Answer is a work in progress and is subject to commercial negotiations with Sidewalk Labs. Project will only go forward if adequate controls are in place, including (but not limited to):
• Costs and liabilities covered should solutions fail
• Project delays due to regulatory barriers
• Controls that manage risk to Waterfront Toronto and the public should there be a change in the relationship between Sidewalk Labs and Alphabet
Will also be informed by outcomes of preliminary Human Rights Impact Assessment
Q:4 Are there sufficient controls in place to address the risks associated with the implementation of this project?
33
• Annual compliance certification
• Audit rights
• IP infringement remedies
• Reserve fund for critical infrastructure
• Step in rights
• Transfer of IP rights to WT
Possible Controls
