Use of Third-Party Collaboration Tools in West Virginia

Based on the provided context documents, there are relevant laws and regulations that may apply to the use of third-party collaboration tools that collect personal information in West Virginia.

Under the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act (WVCCPA), a licensee shall not disclose nonpublic personal health information about a consumer or customer to a nonaffiliated third party unless the licensee provides the consumer or customer with a disclosure and an opportunity to opt out of the disclosure [2.3]. This means that if the third-party collaboration tool collects nonpublic personal health information, the licensee must provide the consumer or customer with a disclosure and an opportunity to opt out of the disclosure.

Moreover, the Limits on Redisclosure and Reuse of Nonpublic Personal Financial Information [2.2] provides that if a licensee receives nonpublic personal financial information from a nonaffiliated financial institution under an exception in sections 13 or 14 of this rule, the licensee’s disclosure and use of that information is limited. The licensee may disclose and use the information pursuant to an exception in sections 13 or 14 of this rule, in the ordinary course of business to carry out the activity covered by the exception under which the licensee received the information. If a licensee receives information from a nonaffiliated financial institution for claims settlement purposes, the licensee may disclose the information for fraud prevention or in response to a properly authorized subpoena. The licensee may not disclose that information to a third party for marketing purposes or use that information for its own marketing purposes.

Conclusion

Based on the provided context documents, if the third-party collaboration tool collects nonpublic personal health information, the licensee must provide the consumer or customer with a disclosure and an opportunity to opt out of the disclosure. Moreover, if a licensee receives nonpublic personal financial information from a nonaffiliated financial institution under an exception in sections 13 or 14 of the Limits on Redisclosure and Reuse of Nonpublic Personal Financial Information, the licensee’s disclosure and use of that information is limited. It is recommended to consult with legal counsel to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
