Selling Personal Information in Delaware
Based on the Delaware Code, it is prohibited to disclose personal information concerning a user to any person, firm, partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, including internal staff who do not need the information in the performance of their official duties, unless such user has consented to the disclosure of such personal information [1.1]. Therefore, it is not legal to sell personal information without obtaining consent in Delaware.
However, it is important to note that there may be additional requirements for specific types of personal information, such as protected health information, which may only be used for legitimate public health purposes and must be limited to the minimum amount of information necessary to accomplish the legitimate public health purpose [2.1][2.2].
Additionally, if you are conducting the business of buying, selling or dealing in new or used vehicles in Delaware, you must obtain a dealer’s license from the Department of Transportation and meet certain requirements, including being at least 18 years of age, having a Delaware driver’s license and established residency in Delaware at least 90 days prior to the time of application, and submitting fingerprints and other necessary information to obtain a report of the applicant’s entire criminal history record [3.1].
In summary, it is not legal to sell personal information without obtaining consent in Delaware, and there may be additional requirements for specific types of personal information. If you are conducting the business of buying, selling or dealing in new or used vehicles in Delaware, you must obtain a dealer’s license and meet certain requirements.
