Ideas from @jimleroyer and @sastels for technical guidance to add to the SLA, specifically around sending SMS
Jimmy Royer 17 hours ago I will update if I think of more but on top of my head: Their options between dedicated vs non-dedicated long code. Their rate of SMS / second they can send with (>20 sms/sec) or without a dedicated long code (1 sms / 2 sec). If they batch send, they need to be aware of our technical SLA/SLA. If they batch send, they need to throttle on their end or they could have their service back into trial mode. This should be in our SLA. They need to send notifications to long code that can receive mobile text message else we could have their service back into trial mode if there are too many noise. This should be in our SLA. SMS is a faulty technology that can't guarantee delivery. Notify gets receipts for some delivered messages, but not for all delivered messages. There might be carriers failures, it is not an infrastructure maintained by one with the same level of quality across the different networks. We are at their mercy. SMS is a faulty technology that can't guarantee trust, at least in Canada. Someone else could impersonate your service easily. Sending international costs more and would probably reduce the agreed quota of free SMS a service can send through Notify. Sending international is less guaranteed delivery or might simply not work. One notification is not necessarily equal to one SMS. Sending long text will divide your messages into multipart and count for multiple SMS, hence increasing your usage of free SMS. It is usually 160 7-bit characters limit. Using special characters might translate to more restricted limit, more here to read for example. It's possible a number you send to won't receive your notification if another service from Notify sent one and was blocked as a consequence. (edited) :raised_hands::skin-tone-2: 1
Steve Astels 17 hours ago There's at least a couple things IMO hitting our api too much - they should use the bulk api instead of hitting the single sms api a lot SMSs go out slowly (20/s for all of Notify) Checking the response they get back from the api to ensure it was accepted Following due diligence in verifying their numbers are correct, are mobile, and are removed from their list if they fail.
Added more legislative requirements, off to Sharly for review, then over to Legal. Asked to document the process Security statement cross referencing old with Sharly notes.
Taking the privacy statement to content critique today.
For the security statement, have some questions for Sharly.
Sending Sharly the new privacy statement. Will wait for the other items
Sharly approved Privacy Statement to go to legal
Privacy Statement still with Legal. Sharly will need to update when it comes back. Yedida did documentation (spreadsheet) of the work

Unified accounts work could affect these docs so there is a dependency there, could feed into this

I've done a check of all 4 docs but they need to be reviewed by a fresh set of eyes. The original google docs are: Final version Notify Privacy Statement EN Final version Notify Privacy Statement FR Other services EN Other services FR

Currently Notify is using the same privacy statement as the CDS website, and is not specific to the needs of Notify, federal depts and p/ts.
We need to:
