How We Use Your Personal Information

The Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) collects some personal information from CareerForceMN.com users because we are required to do so for federal reporting purposes. CareerForceMN.com was developed with funding from a Workforce Innovation Fund (WIF) grant through the U.S. Department of Labor.

You do not need to give us this information by law, but it helps us serve you better.

Why do you need information about me?

The information we collect is for our purposes only. We also use information you provide to determine if you are eligible for additional services. We will contact you directly to let you know about these additional services.

We use Google Analytics to analyze traffic to our site. Google Analytics can be blocked or disabled by any visitor and that visitor will still have access to all information on our site.

What information are we asking for?

We ask for your name, email and telephone number. This information may be used to determine if you're eligible for special assistance, to provide personalized resources, and to evaluate our performance. Again, you do not need to give us this information by law, but it helps us serve you better.

Who has access to my information?

The information we are asking you to provide about yourself – or your organization – is considered private data under Minnesota law. We will only share your data with staff who need it to do their work, the federal agency that oversees these services, and other entities as required by law.

You can learn more about DEED’s data privacy policies online.

What if I don’t want to provide you with information about myself or my organization?

If you don't supply information for yourself – or your organization – your ability for us to contact you will be limited and you will need to reach out to us directly.
