Storing Personal Information in Nebraska
If you want to store personal information about your customers in Nebraska, you must comply with the rules and regulations set forth by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) regarding the storage and disclosure of personal information contained in motor vehicle records [1.2].
According to NEAC 250-2-04, personal information obtained by the DMV in connection with a motor vehicle record cannot be disclosed without the consent of the record holder, except as provided in the rules and regulations. If you are a legitimate business or its agents, employees, or contractors, you may store personal information obtained from the DMV for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of personal information submitted by the individual to the business or its agents, employees, or contractors, or to obtain the correct information for the purposes of preventing fraud, by pursuing legal remedies against, or recovering on a debt or security interest against, the individual [004.04C1][004.04C2].
However, you must strictly limit Internet distribution of personal information by an authorized recipient to end-users through secure private channels, for properly identified customers of the authorized recipient. You must also agree to a biennial independent cybersecurity audit at the recipient’s cost. The audit shall investigate the security of the authorized recipient’s information storage and distribution systems and records of disclosure of personal information as required by the Uniform Motor Records Disclosure Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-2910 [004.08C4][004.08C5].
Therefore, to store personal information about your customers in Nebraska, you must comply with the rules and regulations set forth by the DMV and ensure that you have the necessary consent from the record holder.
