Some online services require a third party for processing and storing personal information.  In cases when information is sent to a third party, you will be told of the third party being used, and have the opportunity to opt-out of the transmittal if you choose.  If you choose to opt-out of the transmittal, we will be unable to fulfill processing.  Third parties that receive information from the city are under contract and are required by law to maintain the data consistent with the Minnesota Government Data Practices act.
