Can I collect gender information from participants in Connecticut? What are the requirements?

Based on the documents provided, it is permissible to collect gender information from program participants in Connecticut. However, it is important to note that any personal data collected from program participants may be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act ^[2.1].

To ensure confidentiality of personal information, program participants may request to be listed on a voter registry list without their street and house number ^[1.1], and may also request that their marriage records be kept confidential ^[1.3].

When amending race information on vital records, the party requesting the modification must provide documentation supporting the requested change ^[3.3]. Similarly, when filing a birth certificate for a birth occurring outside of an institution, the father or mother must verify the fact and circumstances of the birth by providing documentation ^[3.4].

Overall, it is important to follow the guidelines and regulations set forth by the Connecticut General Statutes when collecting and handling personal information.
