Can I use third-party chat tools that collect personal information in California in New Jersey? What are the requirements?

Yes, you can use third-party chat tools that collect personal information in California in New Jersey, but you must comply with the privacy laws of both states.

To ensure compliance with both states’ laws, you should:

  2. Obtain consent from users before collecting any PII [6.1].
  3. Limit the use of criminal history record information solely to the authorized purposes for which it was obtained [1.1][1.4].

  5. Destroy criminal history record information immediately after it has served its intended and authorized criminal justice purpose [1.1][1.4].
  6. Provide notice and an opportunity for the subject of the request to confirm or deny the accuracy of any information contained in the criminal history record if the record may be used to disqualify a person from obtaining or holding any position, employment, or license or performing any services [1.3][1.4].

It is important to note that failure to comply with these requirements may result in civil or criminal penalties and remedies [1.1][1.3][1.4][6.1].
