Can I collect location information from participants in Kentucky? What are the requirements?

Based on the provided context documents, it is possible to collect location information from participants in Kentucky under certain circumstances.

Emergency Requests for Call Location Information

Under KYRS 17.190, a wireless telecommunications carrier shall provide call location information concerning the wireless communications device of a wireless telecommunications user to a public safety answering point or law enforcement agency upon request in order to respond to a call for emergency services or in an emergency situation that involves the imminent risk of death or serious physical injury.

Request to Department of Kentucky State Police to Conduct Background Check on Oneself

Under KYRS 17.185, a person may request the Department of Kentucky State Police to conduct a name-based or fingerprint-supported background check of themselves and release the results to any person designated by the requester.

Kentucky Address Confidentiality Program

The Kentucky Address Confidentiality Program, established under KRS 14.300 to 14.310, allows victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking to keep their residential address confidential by using a substitute address. The program is administered by the Secretary of State and requires participants to meet certain eligibility criteria. It is unclear whether collecting location information from participants in this program is permissible.

Therefore, if you are looking to collect location information from participants in Kentucky for purposes other than emergency response or background checks, it is recommended to consult with legal counsel to determine the requirements and limitations, especially if the participants are enrolled in the Kentucky Address Confidentiality Program.
