Can I use third-party social media tools that collect personal information in Kentucky? What are the requirements?

To use third-party social media tools that collect personal information in Kentucky, you must comply with the state’s regulations on criminal background checks for employees with access to federal tax information ^[1.2]. Additionally, the dissemination of criminal history record information is regulated by the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet ^[2.1]. The exchange of criminal justice information is facilitated by the LINK system, which requires a Criminal Justice Information Exchange User Agreement contract ^[3.1]. However, there is no specific regulation on the use of third-party social media tools that collect personal information. Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
