Local staff as Vanguard demo "viewers"

Response from WG: For general demos that do not expose any sensitive data from your campus or another campus, you are fine — no need for a person watching a demo to fill out the data security acknowledgement form.

However, if you’re looking at another campus’s identified patron data, you should sign a form. Demos should be using anonymized data.
