Using Third-Party HR Tools in Iowa

Under Iowa law, controllers selling personal data to third parties or using targeted advertising must clearly disclose such activity [2]. However, there are no specific requirements for using third-party HR tools that collect personal information in Iowa.

General Privacy Requirements

The Privacy Act requires organizations to take certain precautions to keep personal information confidential [1]. Without an individual’s written consent, records about that individual maintained in a system of records cannot be disclosed, except for certain exceptions [1].

Third-Party Disclosures

If you receive personal information from a third party lender under an exception to the Privacy Rule, your ability to use and disclose the information is limited [3]. The limits are discussed in Section G of the Frequently Asked Questions for the Privacy Regulation [3].

Conclusion

Based on the available information, there are no specific requirements for using third-party HR tools that collect personal information in Iowa. However, organizations must take precautions to keep personal information confidential and should be aware of the limitations on using and disclosing personal information received from third parties.
