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

Based on the provided documents, it is unclear whether collecting pixel information from participants in Virginia requires any specific permits or disclosures. However, if the pixel information collection involves human research participants, the researcher must obtain voluntary informed consent from the participants or their legally authorized representatives ^[3.2]. Additionally, any agency maintaining an information system that includes personal information must establish appropriate safeguards to secure the system from any reasonably foreseeable threat to its security [VACV 2.2-3803].

Therefore, if the pixel information collection involves personal information, appropriate safeguards must be established to secure the system. If the pixel information collection involves human research participants, voluntary informed consent must be obtained.

Please note that this response is based on the provided documents and may not be exhaustive. It is recommended to consult with a legal professional for specific guidance on this matter.
