Can I disclose personal information for a business purpose without complying with CCPA in Kentucky? What are the requirements?
Disclosure of Personal Information for Business Purpose in Kentucky
In Kentucky, the privacy of personal information is protected under the AN ACT relating to privacy [2]. As per Section 2 of the act, a public agency shall not release, publicize, or otherwise publicly disclose personal information in its possession, subject to certain exemptions described in Section 3 of the act. However, this act applies to personal information of individuals who are members, supporters, volunteers, or donors of financial or nonfinancial support to any nonprofit organization.
Regarding the disclosure of personal information for business purposes, there are no specific laws in Kentucky that require compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, businesses operating in Kentucky may still be subject to CCPA if they meet certain criteria, such as having annual gross revenues of over $25 million, buying, receiving, or selling the personal information of 50,000 or more California residents, households, or devices, or deriving 50% or more of their annual revenues from selling California residents’ personal information [1.1].
Therefore, if a business operating in Kentucky meets the criteria for CCPA compliance, they must comply with CCPA requirements when disclosing personal information for business purposes. However, if the business does not meet the criteria, there are no specific requirements for disclosing personal information for business purposes in Kentucky.
It is important to note that businesses should still take reasonable measures to protect the privacy of personal information and ensure that any disclosures are made in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
