Geolocation Data Collection Requirements in North Dakota

To collect geolocation data from participants in North Dakota, you must comply with the state’s data privacy laws. North Dakota Century Code Chapter 51-30 governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information in the state.

Under North Dakota law, geolocation data is considered personal information. Therefore, you must obtain the participant’s consent before collecting their geolocation data. The consent must be informed, meaning that the participant must be fully aware of the purpose of the data collection, how the data will be used, and who will have access to the data.

Additionally, you must take reasonable measures to protect the security of the geolocation data you collect. This includes implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of the data.

It is also important to note that North Dakota law prohibits the collection of geolocation data from minors under the age of 13 without parental consent.
