Can I collect bank account information from participants in Pennsylvania? What are the requirements?
Collecting Bank Account Information from Participants in Pennsylvania
Based on the provided context documents, it is important to note that any collection of personal information, including bank account information, is subject to applicable laws and regulations. In Pennsylvania, the collection and use of personal information is governed by the Pennsylvania Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and other relevant laws and regulations.
Telephone Wagering Account
If you are establishing a telephone wagering account in Pennsylvania, you must complete a written form approved by the Commission, which includes the address of your principal residence and a statement that a false statement made in regard to an application may subject you to prosecution under 18 Pa.C.S. § 4904 (relating to unsworn falsification to authorities) [3.2](#telephone-wagering-account).
Registered iLottery Player
If you are a registered iLottery player in Pennsylvania, you are required to provide true and correct information to the Department and the Bureau during the establishment, access, use or closure of your registered iLottery player’s lottery account [1.2](#lottery-account-moneys-and-credits). However, moneys or credits deposited and held in a registered iLottery player’s lottery account will not earn interest [1.2](#lottery-account-moneys-and-credits). A registered iLottery player may withdraw moneys from the registered iLottery player’s lottery account, and the Bureau may make adjustments to a registered iLottery player’s lottery account if the Bureau determines that moneys or bonus moneys are mistakenly credited to a registered iLottery player’s lottery account [1.4](#withdrawals-from-a-lottery-account).
Other Purposes
If you are collecting bank account information for any other purpose, it is important to consult with legal counsel to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
In summary, the requirements for collecting bank account information from participants in Pennsylvania depend on the specific context and purpose of the collection.
