VII. Rights <br />LA/OC HMIS data from agencies within each continuum resides in one central database. The Agency's <br />data is separated by security for each continuum. Data sharing is currently limited to the data within the <br />Agency's continuum. The LA/OC HMIS Collaborative reserves the right, at a later date, to expand data <br />sharing to include collaborative wide data. <br />The LA/OC HMIS Collaborative also reserves all rights, including termination of agreements, of the <br />LA/OC HMIS application and the service resources that it owns and operates. These procedures shall not <br />be construed as a waiver of any rights of the LA/OC HMIS Collaborative, nor shall they conflict with <br />applicable acts of law. <br />VIII. Privileges <br />The LA/OC HMIS services and or equipment are a privilege and are assigned and managed by the HMIS <br />System Administrator(s) or designee(s) of specific systems. The Agency is responsible for proper use of the <br />system as outlined in Section VI. <br />IX. Confidentiality <br />Although technological and procedural securities have been reasonably exhausted by the LA/OC HMIS <br />Collaborative to ensure client data confidentiality, this system is being used by a multitude of end users and <br />is therefore subject to the diligence to which the Participating Agencies' staff protects client records. <br />The protections that the LA/OC HMIS Collaborative put in place to protect client confidentiality include <br />compliance with HUD Data and Technical Standards Final Notice, institution of a mandated HMIS training <br />program for all HMIS users, consistent application of Policies and Procedures, and signed Agency End- <br />User Agreements. <br />X.
