Requirements for Using Third-Party Analytics Tools on a Website in Ohio

Ohio does not have specific laws or regulations regarding the use of third-party analytics tools on websites. However, if your website collects personal information from Ohio residents, you may be subject to Ohio’s data protection laws.

Under Ohio’s Data Protection Act, covered entities must implement reasonable information security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, acquisition, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. Covered entities must also provide notice to affected individuals in the event of a data breach.

Therefore, if you plan to use third-party analytics tools on your website that collect personal information from Ohio residents, you should ensure that the tools comply with Ohio’s data protection laws. You should also implement reasonable information security measures to protect the personal information collected by the tools.
