A Legal Guide to PRIVACY AND DATA SECURITY 2023
Primary Author: Michael R. Cohen and the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED)
Revised February 2023
The State of Minnesota produced a comprehensive and useful report to help businesses understand and comply with the many privacy and data security laws.
While it is impossible for a business to become an expert in all of the laws related to data privacy and security, it is our hope that this Guide will at least provide a basic understanding of the wide variety of laws and how those laws may impact your business.
This Guide was prepared for Minnesota-based businesses. Data, however, crosses state and national borders, and thanks to the Internet, most businesses have now become global. It is no longer safe to just consider Minnesota and U.S. laws and federal regulations when it comes to data privacy and security. For this reason, we have included some basic information on data privacy laws outside of the United States.
