Descartes Labs is a large data firm. They do incredible work managing any huge types of information that can be beneficial. We treat this as a tool that allows us to figure out whether our social distancing, more than just looking at the cases, but look at where people are traveling, how long they're traveling, and get a sense about whether or not we need to do something else that limits person to person contact and enhances our social distancing.

If there was anything that we thought was breaching already robust federal or state laws protecting privacy, A, we wouldn't have a relationship and, B, we would do the appropriate accountability. But they're just using aggregate data. We don't have any idea who any of the cell phone numbers belong to. It is a very useful tool to get a sense about how social distancing works and what the benefits of that are.
