Use of Third-Party Chat Tools Collecting Personal Information in California in Idaho
If you are using third-party chat tools that collect personal information in California and Idaho, you must comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) [1] and the Idaho law on the disclosure of breach of security of computerized personal information [2.1].
Under the CCPA, businesses that collect personal information from California residents must provide certain notices to those residents regarding the collection, use, and sharing of their personal information, and provide them with certain rights regarding their personal information [1].
In Idaho, a city, county, state agency, individual, or commercial entity that conducts business in Idaho and owns or licenses computerized data that includes personal information about a resident of Idaho must conduct a reasonable and prompt investigation to determine the likelihood that personal information has been or will be misused if it becomes aware of a breach of the security of the system [2.1]. If the investigation determines that the misuse of information about an Idaho resident has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur, the agency, individual, or commercial entity must give notice as soon as possible to the affected Idaho resident [2.1].
It is important to note that the interception and disclosure of wire, electronic, or oral communications is generally prohibited in Idaho, and any interception of such communications requires a court order obtained through a specific procedure [1.2][1.3]. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a legal expert to determine the legality of using third-party chat tools that collect personal information in Idaho.
