Can I use third-party project management tools that collect personal information in Minnesota? What are the requirements?

To use third-party project management tools that collect personal information in Minnesota, you must comply with the state’s data privacy laws. Minnesota Statutes, section 13.05, subdivision 4, outlines the conditions under which a responsible authority may authorize a new purpose for the collection of private or confidential data or a new use for private or confidential data. The responsible authority must comply with the provisions of either Minnesota Statutes, section 13.05, subdivision 4, clause (a), (c), or (d) ^[4.1].

Additionally, if the personal information collected includes financial information, you may need to comply with Minnesota Statutes, section 446A.085, which outlines the eligibility requirements for a TRLF loan ^[1.2].

We recommend consulting with a legal professional to ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
