Collecting Browser Information in Delaware

Based on the documents reviewed, it appears that there are no specific regulations in Delaware that prohibit the collection of browser information from participants. However, state agencies that maintain a state agency website must develop a policy in conformity with the provisions of the Delaware Code [1.5]. Additionally, operators of commercial internet websites, online or cloud computing services, online applications, or mobile applications that collect personally identifiable information through the internet website, online or cloud computing service, online application, or mobile application from users of its internet website, online or cloud computing service, online application, or mobile application who reside in Delaware shall make its privacy policy conspicuously available on its internet website, online or cloud computing service, online application, or mobile application [2.1].

It is important to note that the Department of Technology and Information has the power to develop and implement a comprehensive information security program that applies personnel, process, and technology controls to protect the State’s data, systems, and infrastructure, within the State’s computing environment and on partner systems [1.2]. Additionally, state agencies must comply with guidelines established by the Department of Technology and Information for new technology projects [1.7].

Therefore, if you plan to collect browser information from participants in Delaware, it is recommended that you develop a privacy policy that conforms with the provisions of the Delaware Code and make it conspicuously available on your website or application. Additionally, you should ensure that your data collection and storage practices comply with the Department of Technology and Information’s information security program and guidelines for new technology projects.
