Can I use third-party chat tools that collect personal information in California in Kentucky? What are the requirements?
To determine whether you can use third-party chat tools that collect personal information in California in Kentucky, you should consider the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act (KCPA).
Under the CCPA, businesses that collect personal information from California residents must provide certain disclosures and rights to those residents, regardless of where the business is located. However, the CCPA does not apply to businesses that do not meet certain thresholds, such as those that do not exceed $25 million in annual revenue or do not collect personal information from at least 50,000 California residents. [1.2]
The KCPA also regulates the collection and use of personal information by businesses operating in Kentucky. However, the KCPA does not have specific provisions regarding third-party chat tools that collect personal information. [1.2]
Therefore, whether you can use third-party chat tools that collect personal information in California in Kentucky depends on whether your business is subject to the CCPA and whether your use of the chat tools complies with the CCPA and KCPA requirements. If your business is subject to the CCPA, you should ensure that you provide the required disclosures and rights to California residents, regardless of where your business is located. Additionally, you should ensure that your use of the chat tools complies with the CCPA and KCPA requirements regarding the collection and use of personal information.
