Challenge to data accuracy
An individual who is the subject of public or private data may contest the accuracy or completeness of that data maintained by the city. The individual must notify the city’s responsible authority in writing describing the nature of the disagreement. Within 30 days, the responsible authority or designee must respond and either:
- correct the data found to be inaccurate or incomplete and attempt to notify past recipients of inaccurate or incomplete data, including recipients named by the individual, or
- notify the individual that the authority believes the data to be correct.
An individual who is dissatisfied with the responsible authority’s action may appeal to the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Administration, using the contested case procedures under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 14. The responsible authority will correct any data if so ordered by the Commissioner.
