Privacy & data governance overview

Our approach to data minimization, human review and aggregated, location-based reporting.


Especially with students, schools and AI involved, CRSIF treats data governance as a product requirement, not an afterthought. This overview summarizes the principles every program follows.

No tickets, no enforcement

CRSIF never issues penalties and never makes enforcement decisions. Municipalities, police and school boards retain all official authority.

No individual identification

Observation activities are designed from the ground up to avoid collecting licence plates or identifying individual drivers.

Aggregated, location-based reporting

Dashboards and briefs report on locations and patterns, never on individuals — every output is reviewed by a person before it reaches a partner.

Data minimization by default

Programs collect only what is needed to identify safety patterns, retain it only as long as necessary, and document that lifecycle for every partner.

Key Points

  • Human review of every AI-assisted analysis
  • No licence plate or personal driver data collected
  • Built to hold up to municipal and school-board scrutiny
