Data Privacy Notice (“Tennessen Warning”)

Northfield Hospital & Clinics (NH&C) is asking you to provide information which includes private information under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (MGDPA).  NH&C is asking for this private information so that NH&C can establish a file regarding your volunteer/observer/student interest with NH&C and process the information.

This information will be used to assist in communicating with you about volunteer/observer/student opportunities, decide on placement and scheduling, and maintain a database for future communication purposes.

You are not legally required to provide the information NH&C is requesting and you may refuse to provide some or all of the information requested.  However, NH&C may not be able to offer you volunteer/observer/student opportunities if you do not provide sufficient information.
