Background

Current Data Privacy and Use White Paper

Group briefly revisits background on former Data Privacy & Security Committee

Group briefly "tours" current white paper (depends on attendees - if same attendees as MYM, can skip)

The group quickly skimmed the existing white paper content.

4

Discussion & Brainstorming

Identify:

  • Noted terms, data elements, questions, sections, or references that are outdated
  • Necessary additions
  • Skipped items to reconsider

From 7/9 MYM Meet-Up and a follow-up discussion:

  • Revisit and update data types
  • Look at financial/risk management data at a geospatial level
  • Consider IoT (sensors, etc.)
  • Consider AI
  • Update all references and links
  • Add new examples
  • Reconsider the concept of "ownership" versus origination
  • Revisit/expand key data use areas and questions for agricultural businesses in light of:
    • PIPEDA (Canada)
    • GDPR (EU) and the EU agricultural Code of Conduct
    • Australian agriculture-related Code of Conduct
    • Forthcoming LGPD (Brazil, slated for 2021 implementation), and
    • US state laws, including the CCPA and CPRA (California) and privacy laws and requirements in Virginia, New York, and elsewhere
  • Update PII definition to show differences in PII in the US for agriculture, especially in governmental programs, versus PII under GDPR, et al.
  • Look into FAIR principles

The group reviewed the ideas discussed on July 9 and in a follow-up conversation with Simone van de Burg of Wangenian

Discussion:

"Ownership" versus "origination"

"How do I do this at home" - in other words, once I have the questions to ask, how do I do it?

First update: focus on AgGateway member companies and keep it 'inside' company-focus

Reviewed items previously considered but not done:

  • Targeted executive summaries & talking points
    • Members by industry segment
    • Service providers
    • Farmers
  • Supplemental papers
    • De-identification when using & interpreting data
    • Ag data vs Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Different? Same? When and how?
    • Tackle ‘ownership’ as a concept and give resources for individual companies to consider?

Further Discussion:

Farmer versus service provider/advisor (agronomist, etc.) concerns

  • Service provider likely used multiple tools from multiple vendors to create maps and prescriptions for the farmer, thus sharing the farmer's data, and the farmer may/may not know
  • Also: where does the data go once someone is 'done' with it? How does your data get removed?

Data ethics by design (need to do EARLY in the process of building a system or service)

5Summarize Updates Needed

Summarize additions list

This activity will take place during the initial white paper maintenance working group meetings.

  • Will operate as a working group, will be a subgroup of S&G
  • Still discussing the level of transparency for this activity; may have an activity tracker, but not a full dashboard
  • Will include the ability to track future work actions
