Email Regulations in Nevada
Nevada is one of the couple states that has addressed the issue of protecting personal, identiable information over the Internet head-on. They have a specific state law for this very purpose, which reads:
NRS 597.970 Restrictions on transfer of personal information through electronic transmission. [Effective October 1, 2008.]
1. A business in this State shall not transfer any personal information of a customer through an electronic transmission other than a facsimile to a person outside of the secure system of the business unless the business uses encryption to ensure the security of electronic transmission.
It may be hard to grasp the ramifications of this law; so many companies in Nevada pass personal information through email. That’s where a complete understanding of email regulations in Nevada is completely necessary. If not that, then it’s important to find an encryption company that has experience with residents of Nevada.
Nevada (along with Massachusetts!) should be commended for their regulations on protecting consumer information via email. Encryption is important for the transmission of this information, and it’s something every company should look into implementing before it becomes a law in your state!
