Third-Party Analytics Tools on a Website in North Dakota
If you want to use third-party analytics tools on your website in North Dakota, you must comply with the state’s data privacy laws. North Dakota has not enacted any specific data privacy laws, but it has adopted the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) and the Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (ULONA). These laws provide a framework for electronic transactions and notarization, but they do not address data privacy concerns.
However, you must comply with federal data privacy laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), if they apply to your website. HIPAA applies to websites that collect and store protected health information (PHI), while COPPA applies to websites that collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
You should also review the privacy policies of the third-party analytics tools you want to use to ensure they comply with applicable data privacy laws. The Health Insurance Marketplace Privacy Policy[1] provides an example of a privacy policy that complies with federal data privacy laws.
If you collect personal information from North Dakota residents, you may also need to comply with the state’s breach notification laws. North Dakota’s breach notification law requires businesses to notify affected individuals if their personal information is compromised in a data breach.
In summary, you can use third-party analytics tools on your website in North Dakota as long as you comply with applicable federal data privacy laws and review the privacy policies of the tools you want to use. If you collect personal information from North Dakota residents, you may also need to comply with the state’s breach notification laws.
