Can I collect geolocation data from participants in Tennessee? What are the requirements?
Requirements for Collecting Geolocation Data in Tennessee
In Tennessee, the collection of geolocation data is subject to certain requirements. The Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation (TEL) is responsible for approving technical specifications for geolocation systems and any specific requirements related to geolocation [3]([3]). Additionally, the Tennessee Data Protection Act requires that data protection assessment requirements apply to processing activities created or modified after July 1, 2020, including the processing of precise geolocation data [4]([4]).
Therefore, if you plan to collect geolocation data from participants in Tennessee, you must ensure that your geolocation system meets the technical specifications approved by the TEL and conduct a data protection assessment to comply with the Tennessee Data Protection Act.
It is important to note that the collection of geolocation data may also be subject to federal regulations, such as the Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) requirements under the 21st Century Cures Act [5]([5]).
Overall, it is recommended that you consult with legal experts to ensure that your collection of geolocation data complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
