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

Requirements for Collecting Location Information from Participants in Michigan

Michigan law does not have a specific statute that governs the collection of location information from participants. However, there are several laws that may be relevant to your situation.

Under the “local government filming location access act” [2.3], a local unit of government may authorize a person engaged in the production of a film in Michigan to use property owned by or under the control of the local unit of government for the purpose of producing a film. This act requires the local unit of government to cooperate with the Michigan film office by providing information about potential film locations within the local unit of government and the use of property owned by or under the control of the local unit of government.

Additionally, the “Next Michigan development corporation” [1.2][1.3] seeks to attract eligible businesses to its development district and may exercise all of the powers, privileges, and responsibilities granted to it under state law. This includes the power to exercise the Michigan renaissance zone act, the local development financing act, and other relevant law.

Therefore, if you are collecting location information for the purpose of producing a film or attracting eligible businesses to a development district, you may be able to collect location information from participants in Michigan. However, you should consult with a legal professional to ensure that you are complying with all relevant laws and regulations.
