Minnesota SF5221 establishes rules for collecting and using precise geolocation data of Minnesota residents.

Minnesota SF5221 mandates that controllers inform consumers when their precise geolocation data is collected and specify how it will be used. Controllers must also provide details in their privacy notices, including the type of data collected, its precision level, and the purpose for collecting it. The bill prohibits controllers from collecting more precise geolocation data than necessary, retaining it longer than needed, or selling it to third parties. Violators face civil penalties, including damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, declaratory relief, and reasonable attorney fees.
