Projects can relate to individuals in a number of ways. For example, a project may include a camera for
the purpose of watching a physical location. Individuals may walk past the camera and images of those
individuals may be recorded. Projects could also relate to individuals in more subtle ways. For example, a
project that is focused on detecting radioactivity levels may be sensitive enough to detect whether an
individual received chemotherapy.

records. Without the social security number the application may be deemed incomplete.
