67 Section V: Rights of Public Access • • If a court orders us to release private or confidential data about you, we have to release the data. If we need to use or release data about you in a new way, we need your permission. If we need to use or release private data about you in a way that we didn't tell you about in the Tennessen warning notice, we will ask you for your informed consent. This has to be done in writing, so we will ask you to read and sign a consent form. A copy of the form we use is at the end of this [section] [document]. The consent form tells you: • What information we want to release, or what information we want someone else to give us. You may consent to release all of the information, some of the information or none of the information that is listed on the form. • The reasons we are asking for your consent and how the information will be used. You may consent to all, some or none of the uses/purposes listed on the form. • Who will release the information and who will receive it. You may consent to release information to all, some, or none of the entities or people listed on the form. • What will happen (the consequences) if you let us release or use the information in a new way. • Who to talk to if you have any questions. • You don't have to let us use or release the information in the new way. Before you decide, ou should look at the information. The consent form tells you who to talk to if you want to look at the information or have copies of it. We have to explain everything on the consent form in a way that you understand. After you read and understand the consent form, we will ask you to sign it. If you give us your consent, we can release the information for the length of time that is written on the consent form. You may stop your consent any time before that time is over. If you want to stop your consent, you must write to the person named on the form and clearly say that you want to stop all or part of your consent. Stopping your consent will not affect information that already has been released because you gave your consent. We also will ask for your consent if someone asks us for private data about you and the law doesn't let us give the data to that person. If you ask us to release private data about you to someone else, we will ask for your informed consent. If you give us your informed consent, we have to release the data in the way you ask. We only ask for your informed consent to release private data about you. We don't need to ask for your consent to release public data about you because the law says we have to give public • data to anyone who asks. The law does not give you the right to see confidential data about you or to let anyone else see the data. July, 2000 Model Policy: Access to Government Data & Rights of Subjects Data
