6.3the property subject to a program participant's real property notice. Notwithstanding
6.4subdivision 4a, or any law to the contrary, a party examining title may rely conclusively
6.5on the information contained in a written affirmation from the secretary of state.

6.7authorized in this subdivision and may not be further disclosed to any other person. A
6.8person receiving private data under this subdivision shall establish procedures to protect
6.9the data from further disclosure.

6.11Nothing in this section establishes a duty for:
6.12(1) the Office of the Secretary of State to identify other government entities that
6.13may hold data on a program participant; or

6.18to the contrary, after a government entity receives a notice under subdivisions 2 or 4a, if
6.19the government entity seeks to serve process upon a program participant, the service must
6.20be made by personal service or service by mail upon the secretary of state under section
6.215B.03, subdivision 1, clause (3). In an action in which service by publication is required or
