Use of Third-Party Chat Tools Collecting Personal Information in California and North Dakota
If you are using third-party chat tools that collect personal information in California, you must comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) [1.1]. The CCPA requires businesses to provide notice to consumers about the collection and use of their personal information, as well as to provide consumers with the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information [1.1]. Additionally, you must ensure that the collection, use, retention, and/or sharing of the personal information is reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the purpose for which the personal information was collected or processed [1.1].
North Dakota does not have a comprehensive data privacy law like the CCPA [5.1](#[5.1]). However, North Dakota has specific laws that regulate the use and disclosure of personal information in certain contexts. For example, NDAC Section 45-14-01-11 limits the disclosure of nonpublic personal financial information to nonaffiliated third parties, requiring a licensee to obtain authorization from the consumer whose nonpublic personal information is sought to be disclosed [3.1](#[3.1]). NDAC Section 45-14-01-12 limits the redisclosure and reuse of nonpublic personal financial information obtained from nonaffiliated financial institutions [3.2](#[3.2]). NDAC Section 10-18-01-04 imposes security requirements for the criminal justice data information sharing system [4.1](#[4.1]). NDCC Section 51-28-02 regulates the use of prerecorded or synthesized voice messages [6.1](#[6.1]).
In summary, if you are using third-party chat tools that collect personal information in California, you must comply with the CCPA and ensure that the collection, use, retention, and/or sharing of the personal information is reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the purpose for which the personal information was collected or processed. In North Dakota, there are specific laws that regulate the use and disclosure of personal information in certain contexts, such as nonpublic personal financial information and criminal justice data information sharing system.
