Can I store personal information about my customers in Minnesota? What are the requirements?

Based on the documents provided, there are no specific regulations regarding the storage of personal information in Minnesota. However, businesses that collect personal information are required to comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, which governs the collection, use, and dissemination of government data.

Additionally, the State Information Infrastructure policy requires the state to seek ways to meet its telecommunications needs in a manner that promotes the growth of the private sector information infrastructure throughout the state. The chief information officer is responsible for planning, development, and operations of the state information infrastructure in order to provide cost-effective telecommunications transmission services to state information infrastructure users consistent with the policy set forth in this section ^[2.1].

It is important to note that while there are no specific regulations regarding the storage of personal information, businesses that collect personal information are still required to comply with applicable federal laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) if they have customers in those states.

Therefore, if you are a business that collects personal information about your customers, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure that you are complying with all applicable regulations.
