Using Third-Party Social Media Tools that Collect Personal Information in Minnesota

If you are using third-party social media tools that collect personal information in Minnesota, you must comply with the requirements of Minnesota law.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Minnesota Statutes section 325M.02 prohibits an internet service provider from knowingly disclosing personally identifiable information concerning a consumer of the internet service provider, except as provided in sections 325M.03 and 325M.04 [2.1]. Section 325M.03 outlines the circumstances under which an internet service provider must disclose personally identifiable information concerning a consumer, including pursuant to a court order in a civil proceeding upon a showing of compelling need for the information that cannot be accommodated by other means [2.2]. Section 325M.04 permits an internet service provider to disclose personally identifiable information concerning a consumer under certain conditions, including with the authorization of the consumer [2.3].

Security of Information

An internet service provider must take reasonable steps to maintain the security and privacy of a consumer’s personally identifiable information [2.4].

Authorization for New Purposes for Data Collection

If you are seeking to use personal data for a new purpose, you must obtain informed consent from the data subject [4.1].

Access to Private Data

Access to private data is limited to the subject of the data, individuals within the entity whose work assignments reasonably require access, entities and agencies authorized by statute or federal law to gain access to that specific data, and entities or individuals given access by the express written direction of the data subject [4.2].

Without more specific information about the third-party social media tools you are using and the personal information you are collecting, it is difficult to provide a more detailed answer. If you have further questions or concerns, you may want to consult with a legal professional.
