Can I use third-party project management tools that collect personal information in Wisconsin? What are the requirements?

To use third-party project management tools that collect personal information in Wisconsin, you must comply with the state’s data privacy laws. The Wisconsin Administrative Code (WIAC) NR 810.02 defines personal information as “information that identifies an individual, including an individual’s name, address, telephone number, social security number, or other identifying number or code, but does not include publicly available information that is lawfully made available to the general public from federal, state, or local government records.” ^[1.1]

Under WIAC NR 810.03, any entity that collects personal information must provide notice to the individual about the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information. The notice must include the purpose of the collection, the categories of personal information collected, and the categories of third parties with whom the information may be shared. ^[1.1]

Additionally, under WIAC NR 810.04, entities that collect personal information must implement reasonable security measures to protect the information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. ^[1.1]

Therefore, if you plan to use third-party project management tools that collect personal information in Wisconsin, you must ensure that you provide notice to individuals about the collection and use of their personal information and implement reasonable security measures to protect the information.
