Using Third-Party Analytics Tools on a Website in New York
If you are planning to use third-party analytics tools on your website in New York, you must comply with the relevant laws and regulations.
According to the Department of Financial Services of New York, if you are a virtual currency (VC) entity, you can use third-party service providers or internally developed blockchain analytics products and services for additional control measures, whether separately or in combination. However, if you outsource such control functions, you must have clearly documented policies, processes, and procedures with regard to how the blockchain analytics activity is conducted [3].
Similarly, the Health Insurance Marketplace Privacy Policy states that the Marketplace may consider new third-party tools or the use of new third-party websites, but will first assess the tools or websites [4].
However, it is important to note that the use of third-party tracking technologies by HIPAA covered entities and business associates is regulated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. If you are a HIPAA covered entity or business associate, you must comply with the relevant HIPAA regulations when using third-party tracking technologies [2]([3]:).
Therefore, if you are planning to use third-party analytics tools on your website in New York, you must ensure that you comply with the relevant laws and regulations, including those specific to your industry. You may also want to consult with a legal professional to ensure that you are fully compliant.
