What must the Contractor obtain to use City Data outside the U.S.?

To use City Data outside the U.S., the Contractor must obtain prior written authorization from the City. This requirement is in place to ensure that the City retains control over how its data is utilized and shared, particularly in international contexts where different regulations and privacy laws might apply. This safeguard helps protect sensitive information and ensures that the data is being used in a manner that aligns with the City’s policies and legal obligations.

The other options do not encompass the necessary formal approval required in this situation. Auditor's clearance and approval from the Contractor's legal team, while possibly important for internal compliance, do not replace the need for explicit authorization from the City itself. Similarly, a public announcement about the intention to use the data does not substitute for the official consent that the City must give to allow such use.
