Can I disclose personal information for a business purpose without complying with CCPA in Maine? What are the requirements?
Based on the provided context documents, Maine has its own set of laws regarding access to personal information and unclaimed property. However, it is important to note that the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a separate law that applies to businesses that collect personal information of California residents.
To answer your question, if you are a business operating in Maine and collecting personal information of Maine residents, you must comply with Maine’s laws regarding access to personal information. Specifically, if a Maine resident submits a written request for access to their recorded personal information that is reasonably described and locatable, the regulated insurance entity or insurance support organization must provide the requested information within 30 days [1.1].
Additionally, Maine has laws regarding the confidentiality of personal information. Personal information contained in an application for restitution assistance under Maine’s subchapter is not subject to disclosure to the extent the information is designated as not a public record by section 16607, subsection 2, paragraph E [2.1].
It is important to note that Maine’s laws regarding access to personal information may differ from CCPA requirements. Therefore, if you are a business collecting personal information of California residents, you must also comply with CCPA requirements.
In summary, if you are a business operating in Maine and collecting personal information of Maine residents, you must comply with Maine’s laws regarding access to personal information and confidentiality of personal information. If you are a business collecting personal information of California residents, you must also comply with CCPA requirements.
