Use of Third-Party Social Media Tools in Wisconsin
Wisconsin law does not have specific requirements for the use of third-party social media tools that collect personal information [2.1]. However, there are general requirements for the collection and disclosure of nonpublic personal financial information by licensees, as outlined in WIAC Ins 25.60 [2.1].
Licensees are generally required to provide initial, annual, and revised privacy notices that include information on the categories of nonpublic personal financial information collected and disclosed, as well as the categories of affiliates and nonaffiliated third parties to which the information is disclosed [2.1]. Exceptions to opt-out requirements for disclosure of nonpublic personal financial information include situations where the disclosure is made with the consent or direction of the consumer, to protect the confidentiality or security of the licensee’s records, to protect against fraud or unauthorized transactions, or to comply with legal requirements [2.1].
It is important to note that these requirements specifically apply to the collection and disclosure of nonpublic personal financial information by licensees, and may not necessarily apply to the collection and use of personal information by third-party social media tools [2.1]. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals and businesses using such tools review the terms and conditions of the tool and any applicable laws and regulations to ensure compliance with all requirements.
In summary, while Wisconsin law does not have specific requirements for the use of third-party social media tools that collect personal information, it is recommended that individuals and businesses using such tools review the terms and conditions of the tool and any applicable laws and regulations to ensure compliance with all requirements [2.1].
