Nice! TIL. Do you have any info you could share about how Minnesota’s privacy legislation compares to California’s or the EU?

My understanding is that they used the existing laws as a framework and then went a little above and beyond them. There is an org in the US that’s is trying to get these sorts of laws passed in every state and they want to make sure they are all compatible with each other.

I think one of the big differences is that MN residents can request what data a business has and the have corrections made.

A lot of those requests are met with, “give us all your data in full so we ensure we have everyrhing there is and we will process it to not be sold” So no, the grass isn’t all that greener on the other side.
