I, the owner, or authorized signatory for the owner, of the vessel indicated below, (the “Client”) acknowledge that, in order to make data review more efficient and effective, Archipelago Marine Research Ltd. (“Archipelago”) will be introducing Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools into its data review workflow. To develop those tools, Archipelago requires ongoing access to large volumes of fisheries data, including data collected from its clients.
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Client agrees as follows:
1. Archipelago may collect, use and store electronic monitoring data collected utilizing Archipelago’s hardware and software tools on Client’s vessel (the “EM Data”): (a) to provide the electronic monitoring services, and (b) for its internal business purposes, in order to improve its services, provide more robust monitoring tools, and reduce the future costs of monitoring programs. Specific uses may include:
•Program assessment and improvements
•Development and refinement of program tools
•Development and training of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning algorithms
2. Archipelago may disclose the EM Data to its development partners focusing on AI and machine learning solely for the purpose of developing algorithms for fish monitoring programs. Prior to accessing the EM Data, all development partners will be required to agree in writing to the same data use restrictions and privacy considerations as Archipelago. Unless permitted under this Consent or required by law, the EM Data will not be shared with any other party, including any agencies, groups or organizations involved in or advocating for the regulations of fisheries or involved in fisheries management.
3. As between Client and Archipelago, Client is the exclusive owner of the EM Data. Any personal information collected by Archipelago will be used only in accordance with the Archipelago privacy policy available at www.archipelago.ca/privacy-policy.
4. Client may request copies of their video data by calling Archipelago’s Victoria office (1-888-383-4535) within 14 days of the completion of a trip and completing an Imagery Request form. The cost for this service will vary depending on the amount of video requested and the storage format.
5. Client may withdraw its consent to Archipelago’s use of any personally identifiable information or information regarding Client’s vessel for the purposes outlined in this consent form at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Archipelago. Client acknowledges that withdrawal of consent may adversely impact Archipelago’s ability to provide monitoring services to Client, affect Client’s ability to use AI tools, and/or increase costs. Client personally identifiable information or vessel information retained on Archipelago’s servers for the purposes outlined in this consent form will be deleted within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice that consent has been withdrawn.
6. Anonymization is the process of removing personally identifiable information from data sets, so that people, locations and vessel names whom the data describe remain anonymous. Archipelago will have the right to collect and use anonymized aggregate data derived from the EM Data to develop and improve the AI capabilities of Archipelago solutions, and for development, diagnostic and corrective purposes related to Archipelago’s products and services, and such anonymized aggregate data shall be the property of Archipelago.
By signing below, the signatory agrees that he or she: (i) is, or is authorized to provide consent on behalf of, the Client, where the Client is the vessel owner of the vessel(s) listed below participating in the Groundfish Hook and Line/Trap Catch Monitoring Program.; (ii) has read this consent carefully and understands its contents, and (iii) voluntarily agrees to its terms.
In order to improve the delivery of the GHLCMP and increase client satisfaction, an electronic application for harvesters to enter fisher logbook data electronically has been developed by Archipelago – FLOAT. FLOAT was designed for the Android platform and requires the following specifications for the tablet device it will be used on:
•Android 5.0 or higher (we recommend Android 8.0 or higher for new tablet purchases);
•GPS enabled; and
•Designed for a 9-inch screen or larger. Tablets with smaller screens may be more difficult to read and use with the app.
Skippers interested in using the electronic logbook will be responsible for purchasing and maintaining their own tablet. Archipelago has done all the development and testing on Samsung Tab A models or newer. Protective cases are recommended. Archipelago uses Gumdrop cases for all of their DMP tablets. Archipelago will provide the application to skippers to download via the email provided below. Members of Archipelago’s GHLCMP management team will provide
In order to improve the delivery of the GHLCMP and increase client satisfaction, an electronic application for entering hail information has been developed by Archipelago: E-Hail.
E-hail has been designed for use on any device that has internet and email capabilities (i.e. desktop computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone).
Members of Archipelago’s GHLCMP management team will provide application support to skippers and each user will be provided with a detailed user guide.
