Can I use third-party file sharing tools that collect personal information in North Carolina? What are the requirements?

Based on the provided documents, it is unclear whether there are specific requirements for using third-party file sharing tools that collect personal information in North Carolina. However, it is important to note that North Carolina has regulations in place for the use and access of criminal history record information (CCH) [1.3][1.4].

If you are a researcher or a non-criminal justice agency wishing to access criminal history data for a statistical purpose, you must first submit a completed research design that guarantees protection of security and privacy to the North Carolina CJIS System Officer (CSO) [1.3]. The CSO must ensure that an individual’s right to privacy will not be violated by the research program and that the program is calculated to prevent injury or embarrassment to any individual.

If you are a criminal justice agency authorized to issue licenses or approve non-criminal justice employment and want to use computerized criminal history information maintained by DCI for licensing, permit, and non-criminal justice employment purposes, you must submit a written request to CIIS listing the types of licenses, permits, and employment for which you desire to use computerized criminal history information [1.4]. Authorization to use computerized criminal history information for licensing, permit, or employment purposes may be given only after the DCI and the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office have evaluated and granted authorization based upon the authority of the North Carolina General Statutes or local ordinance pertaining to the issuance of that particular license or permit for employment.

Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional or the appropriate regulatory agency to determine if there are any specific requirements for using third-party file sharing tools that collect personal information in North Carolina.
