Can I collect geolocation data from participants in Missouri? What are the requirements?
Geolocation data collection requirements in Missouri
Based on the documents provided, there are regulations in Missouri regarding the collection of geolocation data.
Missouri law prohibits transportation network companies (TNCs) from using geographic location or geolocation data of a rider or prospective rider for the purpose of excluding certain areas on the basis of the income, racial, or ethnic composition of such area [2]([4]:). TNCs are also prohibited from misleading riders or potential riders, including law enforcement, as to how many vehicles are available to provide rides [4].
However, there is no clear information on whether these regulations apply to the collection of geolocation data from participants in other industries. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a legal expert or the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services for further guidance on the collection of geolocation data from participants in Missouri.
Conclusion
Based on the available information, it is unclear whether there are specific requirements for collecting geolocation data from participants in Missouri outside of the TNC industry. It is recommended to seek legal guidance for further clarification.
