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

Using Third-Party Social Media Tools that Collect Personal Information in Louisiana

Louisiana law does not have specific requirements for using third-party social media tools that collect personal information [1.1]. However, it is important to comply with relevant federal and state privacy laws, such as the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) [1.1]. The DPPA prohibits the disclosure and use of personal information from Department of Public Safety and Corrections records, including motor vehicle records, except as provided in Subchapter B [1.2]. An authorized recipient of personal information shall resell or redisclose records or personal information contained in an individual’s motor vehicle record only for purposes defined as permitted disclosures in Subchapter B [1.2].

Additionally, Louisiana law prohibits the intentional impersonation of another actual person, without the consent of that person, in order to engage in certain activities, including opening an electronic mail account, any other type of account, or a profile on a social networking website or other Internet website [4.1].

It is important to note that the use of personal information collected by third-party social media tools may be subject to federal and state privacy laws, such as the DPPA. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals and businesses using such tools familiarize themselves with these laws and ensure compliance.

In summary, while there are no specific requirements for using third-party social media tools that collect personal information in Louisiana, it is important to comply with relevant federal and state privacy laws, including the DPPA, and to avoid intentional impersonation of another actual person.
