Collecting IP Addresses from Participants in Idaho

In Idaho, there are no specific laws that prohibit the collection of IP addresses from participants. However, it is important to note that certain personal information, such as residential street addresses and telephone numbers of law enforcement officers and their residing household members, are protected from disclosure by public agencies ^[2.1]. Additionally, the state of Idaho is dedicated to the conservation of its public waters and requires individuals or entities intending to withdraw water from any surface or underground water source in the state of Idaho for use outside the state or to change the place or purpose of use of a water right from a place in Idaho to a place outside the state to file an application for a permit to do so ^[3.1].

Therefore, if you plan to collect IP addresses from participants in Idaho, it is recommended that you comply with all applicable laws and regulations. It is also important to ensure that any personal information collected is protected and not disclosed without proper authorization.

In summary, while there are no specific laws in Idaho that prohibit the collection of IP addresses from participants, it is important to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and protect any personal information collected.
