Avoiding Tracking Unique Users in Oregon
If you are collecting personal information from website visitors in Oregon, you may be subject to the state’s privacy laws. Oregon has not enacted a comprehensive data privacy law, but it has several laws that regulate the collection and use of personal information.
One way to avoid tracking unique users or website visitors in Oregon is to not collect any personal information from them. However, if you do collect personal information, you must comply with Oregon’s data privacy laws.
Under ORAR 735-018-0030, the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may require the use of a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or other unique identifier for certain electronic transactions. If a PIN is required, a person or organization may request a PIN by submitting a request for PIN at DMV’s website. Upon the receipt of a request for PIN, DMV will assign and, at its discretion, mail or e-mail a PIN to the person or organization requesting the PIN.
Under ORAR 735-016-0040, to be eligible for an Oregon driver license, driver permit or identification card a person must be domiciled in Oregon or meet the residency requirements described in ORS 807.062(4), unless otherwise authorized or required by law. To be eligible to register a vehicle in Oregon a person or business entity must meet the residency requirements described in ORS 803.200(1), unless otherwise authorized or required by law.
Under ORAR 735-016-0070, DMV will accept certain documents as proof of residency or domicile to obtain or renew a driver license, driver permit, identification card or to register or renew a vehicle in Oregon. If a person who resides in Oregon is not able to meet the requirements of section (1) of this rule, the person must provide DMV a certification of residency or domicile for an Oregon driver license, driver permit, identification card or vehicle registration. In addition, the person must provide at least two other forms of proof that the person is a resident of or domiciled in Oregon.
Under ORAR 740-055-0120, all carriers must maintain records of their motor vehicle operations and make reports on forms approved by the Department. Such records must be stored at the carrier’s principal office or place of business, made available for inspection by the Department or its representatives upon request, and retained for a period of three (3) years unless otherwise authorized by the Department. Distance records produced by a means other than a vehicle-tracking system must meet all requirements in section (1) of this rule and contain the following information for each vehicle: origin and destination points, Oregon entry and exit points, actual Oregon miles for each trip, pickup and delivery points in Oregon for each trip, routes of travel for each trip, dates of each trip, and daily beginning and ending odometer or other mileage recording device readings for each vehicle. Distance records produced wholly or partly by a vehicle-tracking system, including a system based on a global positioning system (GPS) may be used in lieu of, or in addition to, the records required in this rule provided the electronic records meet all the requirements of section (1) of this rule and contain the following information for each vehicle: the original latitude and longitude coordinates carried out to, at minimum, 5 decimal places, for the vehicle to which the records pertain; the date and time of each coordinate capture, at a minimum of 15-minute intervals and at every significant event to validate the total distance traveled; the daily beginning and ending reading from the odometer, hubodometer, engine control module (ECM), or any similar device; the calculated distance between each GPS or other system reading; the total distance traveled by the vehicle in Oregon; and exception reports containing adjustments made to distance traveled in Oregon including equipment malfunction, tampering or random unexplained coordinate capture.
There are no specific requirements for avoiding tracking unique users or website visitors in Oregon outside of the DMV and carrier regulations. However, if you collect personal information from Oregon residents, you should comply with Oregon’s data privacy laws.
