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

Collecting IP Addresses from Participants in Louisiana

Based on the context documents provided, it is unclear whether collecting IP addresses from participants in Louisiana is allowed or not. However, the Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC) does provide guidelines for geolocation and geo-fencing techniques and capability to ensure that a player is not utilizing a proxy server, virtual private network, spoofing, or other means to disguise their physical location or their computer or device’s physical location when participating in or attempting to participate in a fantasy sports contest [1.1].

Additionally, LAC § 51.2370.3 provides guidelines for the submission of census block, shape file area, and address data for broadband deployment projects. The guidelines require providers to submit a listing of the census blocks, shapefile areas, individual addresses, or portions thereof, comprising the publicly funded project areas meeting this requirement to the office. Any location or area of the state, subject to a Rural Digital Opportunity Fund award, in which the provider receiving the award has proposed to provide broadband internet access service through a technology other than a wireline technology, may be eligible for the GUMBO grant program [2.1].

It is important to note that the LAC also states that records of the board and division shall be public records, except as provided in Louisiana Revised Statutes Title 44:1 et seq. and R.S. 27:21 [1.2]. Therefore, any information collected from participants may be subject to public record laws.

Without further information on the specific context and purpose of collecting IP addresses, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. It is recommended to consult with a legal professional for guidance on the matter.
