the accuracy of the data presented below
Or "set out" or "given"; there are various equally valid ways of saying it.
It's administrative rather than legal language, really.
"The accuracy of the data presented below is contingent upon the accuracy of data submitted to DEEP by the reporting entities identified above."

: 'data' seems to me a more apt term for numerical or quantitative matter; es más, en este contexto 'data' me parece casi casi un falso amigo. Saludos tocayo... PJD

the accuracy of the following information/ the information (provided) below
In the context of academic records, I think 'information' is a better fit than 'data' - the latter term, to my ear/eye, implies largely numerical or quantitative matter.
http://www.pc.fsu.edu/Graduate/Graduate-Student-Resources : Florida State University Panama City : "Please verify the accuracy of the following information found on the Online Status ... All of your academic records are established from the admission record, ..."
http://www.armstrong.edu/Departments/registrar/registrar_fer... : "FERPA governs access to and privacy of student records at institutions that ... confidentiality of those records (including all academic records such as tests, papers, etc.) ... and challenge the accuracy of the information contained in their record.

Discussion
Another well-established use of "data" is factual information of a personal nature: that which is covered by data protection legislation.
On this basis, it seems to me that the information contained in an academic transcript can properly be called data. Much of it is literally numerical or quantitative, and all of it is factual information used as a basis for argument or from which conclusions can be drawn: dates, names of courses, grades, GPAs. All of it, moreover, is potentially subject to data protection. So I think that although "information" is obviously a valid translation of "datos" here, "data" is also valid.
"Data
1: factual information (as measurements or statistics) used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation
2: information output by a sensing device or organ that includes both useful and irrelevant or redundant information and must be processed to be meaningful
3: information in numerical form that can be digitally transmitted or processed
(Merriam-Webster)
"dato
1. m. Antecedente necesario para llegar al conocimiento exacto de algo o para deducir las consecuencias legítimas de un hecho.
2. m. Documento, testimonio, fundamento.
3. m. Inform. Información dispuesta de manera adecuada para su tratamiento por un ordenador."
(DRAE)
I agree that in practice "data" is more narrowly used than "datos". In other words, there are times when "datos" should be translated as "information", rather than "data". Is this such a case?
