Addressing the Privacy Concerns during a Virtual ODR Process
ODR Global has adopted as a Standard Procedure, recording of the Virtual Sessions. In this connection, some have raised a query if this is not a Privacy Concern particularly in the case of Mediation.
It is possible to switch off the recording if the parties donot want the recording. The presence of the registrar can also be eliminated if need be.
However, we would like to place the opinion of ODR Global here.
1. In the case of Arbitrations, one of the reasons for challenge is an unfair conduct of the arbitration process. This can be eliminated by the recording backed up by Section 65B certification as proposed by ODRGlobal.
2.In the case of Mediation, the essence is bringing about a resolution of dispute. Both parties are therefore considered to be interested in resolution. In this respect, some times, reflecting and reviewing what a person said during the meeting, whether the other party misunderstood or not etc would be useful. This is possible by a review of the recording. If necessary, parties may agree that the recording will be retained by the ODR Global only for a certain period and destroyed there after. It can be retained in trust by ODR Global and made available only for online browsing if required jointly by the parties without each having a copy of their own.
In view of the concerns, the terms of engagement will seek the permission of the parties to the recording and retention for a specific period as well as whether it has to be shared in recorded form with the parties etc.
