Can I collect device information from participants in Vermont? What are the requirements?

Based on the information provided in the context documents, it is unclear what type of device information you are referring to and for what purpose you want to collect it. However, it is important to note that Vermont law prohibits the use of handheld portable electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle on a public highway, including while the vehicle is stationary, unless otherwise provided in the law ^[2.1].

If you are collecting device information from participants in Vermont, you must obtain informed permission or authorization from the participants ^[3.1]. The permission or authorization should contain the name of the participant, a list or description of the kinds of information to be shared or disclosed, an explanation of the purpose for which the permission or authorization is given, a list or description of those authorized to receive the information, a statement that the permission or authorization may be revoked in writing at any time except to the extent that the permission or authorization has already been acted or relied upon, the date, event, or condition upon which the permission or authorization will expire if not revoked earlier, the signature of the participant granting permission or authorization, or the name and signature of the person with authority to do so and the date, the signature of the individual explaining the permission or authorization process with his or her position, job title, and date, a space to provide individualized instructions, and a statement that the information will not be disclosed further unless such disclosure is required or allowed by law ^[3.1].

If you have any further questions or concerns, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional.
