Summary/Additional Info:

This ordinance refines the implementation of eSalvar, the city’s QR-based digital contact tracing system, by amending provisions of Ordinance No. 2020-086 to ensure better data privacy compliance, user clarity, and emergency access flexibility.

Key amendments include:

• Revised manual logbook procedures, including required fields and submission timelines
• Updated mandates for public and private establishments, including scanning protocols and verification through photo-matching
• Stronger data privacy provisions: access restricted to authorized data controllers; automatic data deletion after 30 days
• Revised penalties for impersonation, data misuse, non-registration, and failure to implement scanning protocols
• Addition of Section 18, which exempts individuals from QR/logbook requirements during emergencies, especially for hospital access
• Renumbering of the final three sections to account for the inserted provision

The ordinance responds to feedback from legal experts and the public, aiming to enhance clarity, compliance, and rights protection while maintaining pandemic safety infrastructure.
