Can I collect pixel information from participants in Iowa? What are the requirements?

Collection of Pixel Information in Iowa

Based on the provided documents, there is no specific rule or regulation that addresses the collection of pixel information from participants in Iowa. However, the collection of personally identifiable information is regulated by the Iowa Administrative Code (IAC) 681-17.14 ^[2.1].

Pixel information may be considered personally identifiable information if it can be used to identify an individual. Therefore, if you collect pixel information that can be used to identify participants, you must comply with the requirements of IAC 681-17.14.

The rule describes the nature and extent of personally identifiable information that can be collected, maintained, and retrieved by the agency by personal identifier in record systems. It also describes the legal authority for the collection of that information, the means of storage of that information, and indicates whether a data processing system matches, collates, or permits the comparison of personally identifiable information in one record system with personally identifiable information in another record system.

The rule applies to all agencies in Iowa, including the State Board of Regents and the institutions it governs, such as the State University of Iowa, Iowa State University of science and technology, University of Northern Iowa, Iowa School for the Deaf, and Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School ^[2.3].

Therefore, if you plan to collect pixel information from participants in Iowa, you should ensure that you comply with the requirements of IAC 681-17.14. If you have any further questions or concerns, you may want to consult with a legal professional.
