Using Third-Party Collaboration Tools that Collect Personal Information in Nevada
If you plan to use third-party collaboration tools that collect personal information in Nevada, you must comply with certain requirements.
Definition of Personal Information
Nevada law defines “personal information” as a natural person’s first name or first initial and last name in combination with certain data elements, such as social security number, driver’s license number, account number, credit card number, or health insurance identification number [1.1]([2.1]).
Security Measures
A data collector that maintains records containing personal information of a resident of Nevada must implement and maintain reasonable security measures to protect those records from unauthorized access, acquisition, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure [1.2]([1.2]).
Disclosure of Breach of Security
Any data collector that owns or licenses computerized data which includes personal information shall disclose any breach of the security of the system data following discovery or notification of the breach to any resident of Nevada whose unencrypted personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person [1.3]([1.3]).
Consult with a Legal Professional
The context documents do not provide specific requirements for using third-party collaboration tools that collect personal information in Nevada. Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
