Requirements for Using Third-Party Analytics Tools on a Website in Wisconsin
If you want to use third-party analytics tools on your website in Wisconsin, you must comply with the state’s traffic impact analysis guidelines [2]. These guidelines require analysts to use Wisconsin-specific trip generation equations to determine the impact of traffic on the surrounding area.
Additionally, if you collect any personal health information (PHI) through your website, you must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule [3]. The HIPAA Privacy Rule provides guidance on how to de-identify PHI to protect individuals’ privacy.
It is important to note that if you are a part of the Health Insurance Marketplace, you must also comply with their privacy policy [1]. This policy outlines how they collect and use personal information to perform their duties.
