Can I collect IP addresses from participants in Florida? What are the requirements?

Based on the provided documents, it is important to note that IP addresses are considered public records in Florida [2.1]. Therefore, if you collect IP addresses from participants in Florida, they may be subject to public records requests.

To collect IP addresses, you must comply with the Management and Distribution of State Numbers and Addresses regulation [1.1]. Specifically, for all Internet Protocol Versions later than Internet Protocol Version Four, the Department shall distribute and/or authorize addresses to Customers of the network, and/or delegate management of subsidiary groups of addresses to Customers of the network. No Required User shall seek ownership or usage of any Internet Protocol addresses through any source other than the Department.

Additionally, private Internet Protocol Version Four addresses used on the State Intranet that are intended to be used outside the Customer’s Sub-network shall be registered with and approved by the Department of Management Services [1.1].

It is important to note that these regulations apply to the State Network, and it is unclear from the provided context whether you are collecting IP addresses through the State Network or through a private network.

If you are collecting IP addresses through a private network, you may still be subject to public records requests [2.1]. Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable regulations.

In summary, you may collect IP addresses from participants in Florida, but you must comply with the Management and Distribution of State Numbers and Addresses regulation if you are using the State Network [1.1]. Additionally, you should be aware that IP addresses are considered public records in Florida [2.1].
