If you want to pull something back
You can hide any item from your file. Tap the visibility toggle on the item and choose private. It will disappear from anyone else's view straight away.
If you want it deleted completely, tell your youth worker or any staff member at Oonchiumpa. We hold a backup for 30 days in case of mistakes, then it is gone from our systems.
Who can see what
| Setting | Who sees it |
|---|---|
| Private | Only you. |
| Oonchiumpa staff | You plus the staff who work with you. No one else. |
| Family | You plus the family members you have named. Coming later. |
| Research | Only if a university partner is signed up with proper ethics approval. Not active yet. |
| Public | Anyone. Requires elder sign-off and your explicit yes. Not active yet. |
Three people sign off before you start
Before you can add things to your file, three people sign off: you, a family member or carer, and an elder or community member. This is not a paper form, it is a real conversation. If any of them want to stop the consent later, your file goes private and stays that way.
Where this comes from
OCAP stands for Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession. It was developed by First Nations communities in Canada and is used around the world to make sure communities, not systems, hold their own data. We follow it because it is the right way to work.
