Does my privacy policy have to disclose my use of cookies, GUIDS, IP addresses, or the fact that I use other passive information collection technology?
A. Yes, it does, when the information is combined with “personal information.” The Rule defines personal information as including identifiable information about an individual collected online, including any persistent identifier that is tied to identifying information. For example, if you tied a child’s email address to the information that your cookies collected about the length of the child’s visit, all the information collected would be considered “personal information.
