Use of Third-Party Collaboration Tools Collecting Personal Information in Kansas

Based on the documents provided, there are no specific requirements or regulations in Kansas that prohibit the use of third-party collaboration tools that collect personal information. However, it is important to note that any personal information collected by these tools must be handled in accordance with applicable state and federal laws.

Under the Kansas Open Records Act (KORA) [1.1], public agencies are required to designate a local freedom of information officer who is responsible for responding to inquiries and resolving disputes related to the open records act. Additionally, certain records may not be required to be open, including medical, psychiatric, psychological, or alcoholism or drug dependency treatment records that pertain to identifiable patients, personnel records, and records that would reveal the identity of any undercover agent or informant reporting a specific violation of law [1.2].

Private sector entities participating in the Kansas intelligence fusion center are not considered governmental entities, and employees or agents of private sector entities assigned to the center are not considered state employees for the purposes of the Kansas Tort Claims Act [2.2].

The Kansas intelligence fusion center may enter into agreements with participating agencies or organizations, whether public or private, for their participation in the center. Such agreements shall define the duties and responsibilities of each participating agency or organization and may provide for payment by the participating agency or organization of a reasonable share of the cost to establish, maintain and operate the center [2.1].

Overall, while there are no specific requirements for third-party collaboration tools that collect personal information in Kansas, it is important to ensure that any personal information collected is handled in accordance with applicable state and federal laws.
