A. Why and When Informed Consent is Needed <br />1. In general, private data on an individual may be collected, stored, used and disseminated <br />only for those purposes stated to the individual data subject at the time the data was collected. <br />(See Section 4, "Tennessen Warning") (Minn. Stat. § 13.04, subd. 4) <br />2. However, private data on individuals may be used by and disseminated to any individual <br />or agency by the Responsible Authority or the designee if the individual subject or subjects of <br />the data have given their informed consent (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 4(d)). <br />NOTE: Except when expressly provided for by law, informed consent cannot authorize a new <br />purpose or a new use of confidential data on individuals. <br />1 An informed consent or authorization for the release of information is needed in order to: <br />a. use private data for a purpose that was not stated to the individual data subject in <br />the Tennessen Warning given at the time the data was collected; or <br />b. provide access to private data to a person, entity or agency other than those stated <br />to the individual data subject in the Tennessen Warning given at the time the data <br />was collected. <br />4. An informed consent is not needed: <br />a. to use private data on individuals for any lawful purpose which was communicated <br />to the subject of the data on the Tennessen Warning at the time the data was <br />collected; <br />b. when a new use or dissemination is specifically authorized by a federal, state or <br />local law enacted after the data was collected (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 4(b)), or <br />C. when the Responsible Authority has requested and received approval from the <br />Commissioner of Administration for a new or different use or dissemination of the <br />data (Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 4(a) and (c)). (See Section 4.A.5.) <br />CAHS0664 <br />GAII5-26 22 <br />
