[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm interested in hearing from PVS officials that the only reason they won't post results files is because those files contain swimmer DOB. The board meeting minutes say PII, but we don't know if PVS is referring to DOB, or even DOB only, or something else they think is PII. If DOB only, sounds like easy fix: PVS mandate that results files can't contain DOB. If a file contains DOB, then PVS tells the meet host to remove DOB and resubmit the file.[/quote]

It all stems from this sentence in the LSC Affiliation Agreement, which states, "LSC shall not publicly post files that have personally identifiable information."

If you google PII, the first thing it mentions is name, but as we all know names of swimmers are everywhere.  That was NOT the intention of USA Swimming and the director of Technology confirmed that yesterday.  Why the LSCs didn't pick up the phone to get clarification, we don't know.  They should realize if the intention was to keep names out of any documents, that it would be impossible.  They are on heat sheets, psych sheets, meet mobile, USA swimming's own website, score boards, pdf results. etc. You can see the entries for each swimmer on your team in team-unify after they are submitted.

LSCs were supposed to be meeting with USA Swimming on Thursday, but no information has been released from that, publicly.   Meanwhile, the battle of USA Swimming to stop people scraping their site for results has gotten much worse, which they are completely aware of.[/quote]

easy money on the table for the take, if USAS wants to make different pricing tiers for swim times API; the free tier can start with X number of request per hour/throttling.[/quote]
