Collecting Server Log Information from Participants in Maine
Based on the provided documents, it is unclear what type of participants you are referring to and for what purpose you want to collect server log information. However, there are some relevant sections of Maine law that may be applicable.
Under Maine Statewide Longitudinal Data System [2.1], the department is authorized to compile, maintain, and disseminate information concerning the educational histories, placement, employment, and other measures of success of participants in state educational programs. However, the Maine Statewide Longitudinal Data System may not make public any information that could identify an individual or the individual’s employer. Education records must be managed in compliance with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA).
Additionally, under Dissemination of Information [2.3], the provisions of the United States Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) govern the dissemination of education records and personally identifiable information about students in public schools, private schools approved by the department pursuant to chapter 117 and private schools recognized by the department as providing equivalent instruction pursuant to section 5001‐A, subsection 3, paragraph A, subparagraph (1), division (b), as well as written notices of intent to provide equivalent instruction through home instruction and all education records of students receiving equivalent instruction through home instruction.
Based on the above information, it is important to ensure that any collection of server log information is done in compliance with FERPA and other applicable laws. It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to determine the specific requirements and limitations for your situation.
Therefore, to answer your question, it is unclear whether you can collect server log information from participants in Maine without additional context. However, it is important to ensure compliance with FERPA and other applicable laws.
