Confidentiality and data ownership

The community/organization implementing the ACHWM has complete ownership of their data and can access it at any point from the Member Portal. The manner in which the de-identified data is stored depends on the type of User Agreement signed by the participating community and the ACHWM team.

The ACHWM team will not look into a community’s individual de-identified data unless the community requests specific data or a report from us. When a request is made, the ACHWM team will then forward the data to the community.

Note: The amount of detail in the report will depend on the number of children who complete the survey.
