Vendor data ownership and procurement reform

Long Beach

Summary

Commissioners want vendors who collect data on Long Beach residents to disclose what they collect, store it on city infrastructure, and delete it when contracts end — lessons drawn from a smart sensor pilot. Procurement due diligence emerged as a possible 2027 workplan item.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

Stronger vendor data terms could protect the city from paying twice for its own data and from post-contract remarketing of resident information.

✅Who benefits

Residents whose personal data — from license plates to facial recognition — stays under city control rather than being sold or retained by vendors.
