Previously there was some concern with Personal Identifiable Information (PII), being shared through a 3rd party associate of the last vendor we used to produce The Detroit ID. Although this concern was unfounded, we are proud to have chosen a new vendor that will not use 3rd party associates, and no identifiable data will be stored/or saved in order to produce an individual Detroit ID.
