Using Third-Party File Sharing Tools that Collect Personal Information in Hawaii

Based on the context documents, businesses that collect personal information of residents of Hawaii are required to provide notice to affected persons in the event of a security breach [HIRS 487N-2]. Additionally, businesses are prohibited from selling or disseminating personal information obtained from an individual’s identification card or driver’s license to a third party for marketing, advertising, or promotional activities [HIRS 487J-6].

Regarding third-party file sharing tools that collect personal information, there are no specific requirements mentioned in the context documents. However, businesses that use such tools should ensure that they comply with the notice requirements in the event of a security breach and do not violate the prohibition on selling or disseminating personal information to third parties.

It is recommended that businesses consult with legal counsel to ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.

Furthermore, if a licensee receives nonpublic personal financial information from a nonaffiliated financial institution under an exception in section 431:3A-402 or 431:3A-403, the licensee’s disclosure and use of that information shall be limited [HIRS 431:3A-302]. The licensee may disclose the information to the affiliates of the financial institution from which the licensee received the information, to its affiliates who may disclose and use the information only to the extent that the licensee may disclose and use the information, and to any other person, if the disclosure would be lawful if made directly to that person by the financial institution from which the licensee received the information.

Therefore, to answer your question, while there are no specific requirements mentioned in the context documents for using third-party file sharing tools that collect personal information in Hawaii, businesses should ensure compliance with notice requirements in the event of a security breach and not violate the prohibition on selling or disseminating personal information to third parties. Additionally, if a licensee receives nonpublic personal financial information from a nonaffiliated financial institution, the licensee’s disclosure and use of that information shall be limited. It is recommended that businesses consult with legal counsel to ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
