Requirements for Collecting Device Information from Participants in Nevada
Based on the provided context documents, it is possible to collect device information from participants in Nevada, but there are requirements that must be met.
Under NVRS 707.630, a provider of wireless telecommunications is required to provide call location information concerning the telecommunications device of a user to assist law enforcement agencies in responding to a call for emergency services or in an emergency situation that involves the immediate risk of death or serious physical harm [4.1]. However, this provision only applies to call location information and not to other types of device information.
Additionally, NVRS 603A.040 defines “personal information” as a natural person’s first name or first initial and last name in combination with certain data elements, including a user name, unique identifier, or electronic mail address in combination with a password, access code, or security question and answer that would permit access to an online account [5.1]. Therefore, if the device information collected includes any of these data elements, it would be considered personal information and subject to the requirements of NVRS 603A.040.
It is recommended that you consult with a legal expert to determine the specific requirements that must be met for collecting device information from participants in Nevada.
