Based on the context documents provided, it is unlawful to collect browser information from participants in Arizona through intentionally deceptive means [2.1]. It is also prohibited to use a web page or electronic mail message or otherwise use the internet to solicit, request or take any action to induce another person to provide identifying information by representing that the person, either directly or by implication, is an online business without the authority or approval of the online business [2.2].

However, if you are a state agency, you are required to have a privacy policy statement that discloses the information you collect from individuals online [1.1]. The privacy policy statement should describe the agency’s information practices with regard to the following matters:
