Can I use third-party HR tools that collect personal information in Michigan? What are the requirements?
Based on the additional context documents provided, there are no specific requirements related to the use of third-party HR tools that collect personal information in Michigan. However, such tools must comply with the requirements set forth in the Michigan Information and Privacy Protection Act (MIPPA) [1.1].
Under MIPPA, personal information in a record maintained under this act shall not be disclosed unless the person requesting the information furnishes proof of identity satisfactory to the secretary of state and certifies that the personal information requested will be used for a permissible purpose identified in the act [1.1].
Therefore, if a third-party HR tool collects personal information in Michigan, it must comply with the permissible purposes identified in MIPPA. These purposes include use in connection with matters of motor vehicle and driver safety or auto theft; motor vehicle emissions; motor vehicle product alterations, recalls, or advisories; performance monitoring of motor vehicles; motor vehicle market research activities, including survey research; and the removal of nonowner records from the original records of motor vehicle manufacturers [1.1].
Additionally, MIPPA allows personal information to be used by a legitimate business, including the agents, employees, and contractors of the business, but only to verify the accuracy of personal information submitted by an individual to the business or its agents, employees, or contractors, and if the information as so submitted is no longer correct, to obtain the correct information, for the sole purpose of preventing fraud by pursuing legal remedies against, or recovering on a debt against, the individual [1.1].
Therefore, if a third-party HR tool collects personal information for the permissible purposes identified in MIPPA or for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of personal information submitted by an individual, it may be used in Michigan. However, it is important to note that the tool must comply with all other applicable laws and regulations related to the collection and use of personal information.
It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
